Getting Started

IntelliScanner organizes everything with barcode technology. It's easy – we'll show you how.

Setting Up

The Scanabout can be paired with any Bluetooth wireless equipped device that supports wireless keyboards. When paired and connected, scans are immediately sent via keyboard emulation to the current app. Here's how to pair your Scanabout.

Scanning

Press and hold down the button for a second to turn on IntelliScanner - you'll hear a beep when it turns on.

To scan a barcode, hold the button down while aiming from a short distance. Be sure the red scanning beam fully crosses the barcode.

For most barcode symbologies, 1 to 5 inches (2.5 - 12.5 cm) works best. You may need to back up a bit for particularly wide barcodes.
