Important Safety Information

Scout200 Series uses an accelerometer with a powerful magnet base. Do not use your data collector before reading the product safety advisory in the Installation and Operation Manual.

Fundamentals

To charge the device before or during the initial use, plug the supplied charger into the data collector’s DC port It takes about three hours to fully charge the device.

Attach Strap or Belt Clip

To use the shoulder strap, clip the strap to the safety breakaway rings installed on strap rails.
Attach the strap to the safety breakaway rings only. Do not attach the strap directly to strap rails.
To attach the belt clip, place the bottom two edges of the data collector into the clip. Press down on the top two edges to secure the device.

Power Device

To turn the data collector on, press the power button.

Buttons, LEDs, and Connectors

Buttons

• Power on/off button.
• Action button executes the functionality of the primary button on the current toolbar in the app. The primary button is identified by a yellow highlight. This functionality is mostly used for on-route recording.

LEDs

• The Power LED remains solid green when the device is on. It flashes to indicate low battery.
• The Charging LED remains steady and amber while the device is charging.
• Bluetooth LED is steady when the device is paired with an industrial handheld, but the link is idle. The LED flashes while the device transfers data to S1 Collector app. The LED is
