“Device information” barcode includes device information (e.g. serial number, version number, Bluetooth version information).

Scan function code “Vibration Open” to activate vibration function, Scan function code “Vibration close” to close vibration function.

In HID mode, scan the barcode “Speed up data transmission through ring cradle”, it  can accelerate the data transmission speed between the cradle and computer; scanthe barcode “Slow down data transmission through ring cradle”, it can slow down the data transmission between the cradle and computer

Scan the barcode “Triggered continuous scanning”, ring could keep scanning when user keeps touching the ring.If user wants to change to common scanning, scan the “Manual Trigger Mode” bar code.

“Manual Trigger Mode” is set by default, user needs to touch ring once to scan once.

After scan “Automatic interval scanning-increase” barcode, it can slow down the scanning speed once by 0.5 second, the slowest scanning speed is scanning once every 3 seconds.

Scan angle adjustment

According to different barcode length, user needs to change laser length to achieve better scanning effect.

1. Scan “Laser calibration” barcode to activate the function, the ring light turns white and begins to automatically and intermittently scan.
