63. ng may notice a slight delay between the successful scan and shut off of the laser and the beep and green LED from the CHS confirming completed transmission of the data In most instances this delay is less than 300 ms milliseconds but may be slightly longer as the connectivity range limit is approached Because of the two way transmission verification process it is possible to cause communication problems by scanning bar codes as fast as possible 6 When this occurs all transmissions will stop for several seconds before scanning can be resumed To prevent this from happening the user should wait until the confirming beep is received before scanning the next bar code SVSTEM REQUIREMENTS Windows Mobile devices should satisfv these minimum requirements e Windows Mobile 2003 2003SE or 5 0 e Any of the following Bluetooth stacks Broadcom Widcomm v1 5 or greater for Windows Mobile 2003 2003SE Broadcom Widcomm v1 7 or greater for Windows Mobile 5 0 Microsoft Bluetooth stack for Windows Mobile Socket Drakar v1 4 from Socket SD CF Connection Kits e Software installation requires either ActiveSync 4 0 or greater or Windows Vista on a host computer The CHS Series 7 is also compatible with the Intermec CK30 mobile computer which runs Windows CE NET Palm OS devices should satisfy these minimum requirements e Palm OS 5 2 or later e Bluetooth wireless technology e Software installation requires Palm Desktop Softw
