Radio Range and Transferring Data

The CR3500 radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device the unit has 

roughly a 300 foot line-of-sight operating range. If connecting to a Class 2 or Class 3 device, the 

operating range will drop to match the lower range. Once a unit is connected, a serial application 

must be opened (HyperTerminal) unless CodeXML Router is installed.

When the CR3500 detects the radio is out of range, the CR3500 will store data on the reader’s 
non-volatile memory.

If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter from Code or from 
an authorized distributor, a QuickConnect Code was included. If you bought a Bluetooth adapter 
separately and wish to create a QuickConnect Code, please visit Code’s web site at: 

http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php. 

To connect your reader, use the following steps:

1.  Power on the CR3500 reader by pressing one of the red buttons for one second to power on 

     the reader.
2.  Scan the 

Reset to RF Factory Defaults

 code on Page 3 (M684_01).

3.  Scan the 

QuickConnect Code

 you received or created from Code’s website (see Sample on 

     Page 3).

4.  The CR3500 will automatically connect to the computer.  By default, the CR3500 will beep once 

after it connects and beep four times in a row if it did not connect.

5.  Scan the 

Save Settings 

code on Page 3 (M188_02) if you want to save the wireless connection   

     settings to the CR3500 so that the CR3500 will automatically try to connect wirelessly
     the next time it is powered on.

Important Note:

 You

 

will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth 

serial port protocol. 

While installing the Bluetooth Configuration Manager software that was included 

with your Bluetooth adapter, make sure to note the Communications (COM) Port number the soft

-

ware assigned for the adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port  through which the CR3500 will 
connect.

Scan the QuickConnect 

code that matches the 

Bluetooth address of 

your device.
