Operating with Bluetooth
This handheld device is equipped with a class 1 wireless Bluetooth interface
incorporating a radio system that enables wireless point-to-point communication
with other Bluetooth-compatible devices. If the other Bluetooth-compatible device
also has a class 1 radio system, a sensing range of approx. 100 m is achieved in a
free field. If the handheld device is connected to a class 2 or 3 Bluetooth-
compatible device, the sensing range decreases accordingly.
If the handheld device is located outside the sensing range, it stores the read data
in the internal memory. The handheld device attempts to send the read data until
the connection with the Bluetooth-compatible device is established again. As
soon as the handheld device sends data to the Bluetooth-compatible device, it is
deleted from the internal memory automatically.

corresponding Bluetooth USB dongle) as follows:
