The CipherLab 1662 is a pocket-size Bluetooth® laser barcode scanner – smaller and lighter than a mobile phone (113 × 45 × 30 mm, 100 g) – built for healthcare, field sales, field service and inventory work. Its laser engine reads 1D barcodes at 100 scans per second from 2 to 42 cm, Bluetooth gives you up to 20 m of freedom of movement, and the 4 MB memory stores over 240,000 scans when you work away from the host. The user-replaceable 850 mAh battery lasts up to 35 hours. This version, A1662LBSNUN01, is the USB kit: it comes with the battery, a Micro USB cable and a wrist strap and pairs directly with your smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth-equipped PC – no base or dongle needed.
