Suffix Enter

The default setting on the CR2300 has Suffix Enter disabled. To enable 
Suffix Enter, scan the following configuration code. For RS232 Settings, 
please refer to the CR2300 Configuration Guide.

emitting from the reader are used for targeting. Center the blue bars in 
the middle of a bar code. When the bar code is in the reader’s field of 
view and at the optimal distance (4” from the bar code) , the reader will 
automatically read the code.

The CR2300 will beep and the good read indicator will flash green to 
indicate a ‘good read’ has occurred. (Figure 12)

4.  (Optional) To mount the Charging Station to a surface place the ‘This Side 

Down’ (Figure 4) side of the weighted base onto the surface and secure

to mount a Charging Station to a surface. Place the Charging Station on 
top of the secured weighted base (Figure 3) and secure to the base with 
the screws provided (Figure 3)

5.  Plug the USB cable into the computer’s USB port or the power adapter 

into the wall outlet. 

Charging a CR2300

Batteries ship with approximately 50% battery life 
and should be completely charged before initial use. 
Approximate time to charge a depleted battery is 4 
hours via USB cable and 2 1/2 hours via AC power 
supply.

To charge a reader, 

 

remove the plastic ‘Remove 

Before Use’ cap, and place the reader into the 
Charging Station. (Figure 9)

When the reader is seated correctly, the Charging 
Indicator LED (Figure 9) will turn green. 

Weighted Base Adapter Plate

The weighted base has the same pre-drilled mounting holes as the ECS-H and UMC Chargers.
