Ring Decoder Warnings and Labels
Do not look into the ring scanner/imager aperture.
Do not stare directly into the ring scanner/imager laser beam.
Do not remove the laser caution labels from the ring scanner/imager.
Do not connect the ring decoder aperture to any other device.
Caution:
Laser radiation when open. Please read the caution labels.
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very
bright light source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into
the light beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be
harmful.

Ring Imager / Ring Scanner
The Bluetooth ring scanner can scan and decode 1D barcodes. The Bluetooth ring imager can scan
and decode 1D and 2D barcodes. The type of barcodes scanned successfully depends on the scan
type of the tethered ring device. After pairing with an LXE mobile device, it can then send the
collected barcode data to the specific Bluetooth enabled LXE mobile device for processing.
The ring devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. The Bluetooth
Ring Scanner module emits good read or bad read sounds based on the ring scan results. See
section titled Status LED and Beep Indicators for an explanation of the LED and beep patterns
emitted by these devices.
Note: These ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read
sound.

Bluetooth MAC ID Barcode Label
LnkB00440fd01020 - Sample
Figure 1-10 Sample MX8 Bluetooth Address (MAC ID) Barcode Label
Locate the barcode label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the LXE Bluetooth capable
mobile device. It may be on any side of the device.
The label is the Bluetooth address identifier for the LXE Bluetooth capable mobile device. It must
be scanned before LXEZ Pairing connection can occur.
The barcode label on the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is a barcode and numeric representation
of the MAC ID of the module.
Troubleshooting
The MAC ID barcodes on some LXE Bluetooth capable mobile devices are quite small. If you
are unsuccessful using the ring imager when scanning a MAC ID barcode, change the ring
imager’s default Smart Focus Mode to Near Focus by scanning the Enable Near Focus barcode in
Chapter 4. Ensure focus mode is changed back to the default value of Smart Focus after the MAC
ID barcode read is successful.
Important: The Bluetooth module MAC ID label should remain protected from damage (rips,
tears, spills, soiling, erasure, etc.) at all times.
