German GS Safety Certification
The following statement is required for the German GS safety
certification:
INSTALLATION
Route the interface cable from the terminal or host. Plug the AC adapter
(if one is used) into a wall outlet and the interface (I/F) cable, then route
and attach the I/F cable to the scanner. Verify operation by presenting
known-good bar codes to the scanner. The unit should beep1and/or
flash its good read LED and send the bar code data to the host or
terminal. If not, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide.
The WPS1500 uses intelligent illumination technology to optimize light
levels for a variety of bar code scanner functions including
automatic reading of bar codes from printed surfaces, mobile devices
and image capture in variable contrast environments.
This product is not intended for use in the immediate or direct visual
field of the display work place. To avoid disturbing reflections on
the display work place, this product shall not be placed in the
immediate or direct field of vision.
