Answer:
Samsung has created a work around for the Menu Button.

On the bottom left hand side of your device there is a Multitasking Button. If you hold down the Multitasking button, the Menu should show on the screen.

 

What you will need:

• A Phillips screw driver
• (2) AA rechargeable batteries with NiMH

Instructions:

1. Loosen screw with a screw driver.
2. Remove battery door.
3. Remove and replace batteries.
   Warning: Installing the batteries incorrectly may damage the scanner.
4. Attach battery door and tighten screw.

Battery life may vary with vibrate settings and work environment. Replace within 2 years.

Important: Only charge NiMH rechargeable batteries. Charging alkaline or other battery types will damage the scanner.

 

Recommended: Use the same 2000 mAh batteries (brand name not necessary). Note that using lower capacity may not meet its advertised specifications.

Answer:

For iOS and Android devices: No, you can only pair and connect to one host device at a time.

For Windows devices: Yes, you can pair to multiple PCs at the same time. However, the scanner will only connect to one PC at a time. The scanner can pair to 7 PC’s depending on the available configured COM ports. (Note: SPP mode is required.)

Alternatively, you can pair up to 4 Socket Mobile scanners to one host device. This may depend on how many Bluetooth devices your host device allows.

Pair versus Connected:

“Pair” is adding the scanner to your host device. “Connected” is being able to use the scanner with the paired device.

How do I pair my Socket Mobile scanner to multiple devices?

Answer:

First, you must create a custom barcode for each computer/device you want to connect to a scanner.

To create a custom barcode, you must  create  an FNI barcode:

1. Use a barcode generator https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/Code128
2. Choose Code 128 as the format
3. Use data #FNIaabbccddeeff# (replace aabbccddeeff with the computer/device’s Bluetooth Address)
   

   
   
   

With Socket Scan 10, scan the FNI barcode to connect and FNA barcode to disconnect. (All scanners remain paired.)
