What is the difference between the 1602g1D and 1602g2D models?

The 1602g1D model reads only 1D linear barcodes, while the 1602g2D model reads 1D barcodes plus PDF417 and 2D barcodes including Data Matrix, QR Code, Aztec Code, and others. The 1602g1D can be economically upgraded to 2D scanning capability in the field when your business requirements expand, protecting your initial investment.

How far can the 1602g scanner operate from my mobile device or computer?

The 1602g features Bluetooth 4.2 Class 1 wireless technology providing up to 50 meters (164 feet) line-of-sight range from the host device. Actual range may vary depending on environmental conditions, obstacles, and interference from other wireless devices.

Can the 1602g read barcodes from smartphone screens?

Yes, the 1602g is specifically designed to read barcodes displayed on smartphone and tablet screens, making it ideal for scanning mobile coupons, digital loyalty cards, mobile tickets, electronic boarding passes, and digital wallet applications in retail and hospitality environments.

How long does the battery last and how is it charged?

The 750 mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of operation and is rated for up to 2,250 scans per full charge. The battery charges in approximately 3 hours using the included micro-USB cable connected to any standard USB power source. The battery is user-replaceable for extended operational life.

What mobile devices and operating systems are compatible with the 1602g?

The 1602g pairs quickly with Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), Android smartphones and tablets, Windows Mobile devices, and any Bluetooth-enabled standard PC or laptop computer. It uses standard Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) profile for broad compatibility without requiring special drivers on most systems.

Can the 1602g scan damaged or poor-quality barcodes?

Yes, the 1602g uses the same high-performance area imaging engine found in full-size Honeywell handheld scanners, enabling it to successfully read damaged, poorly printed, faded, wrinkled, or low-contrast barcodes that may be difficult for other pocket scanners to decode. It reads 1D barcodes down to 3.5 mil resolution.

Is the 1602g suitable for warehouse or outdoor use?

The 1602g is designed primarily for indoor retail, point-of-sale, and light field service applications. It carries an IP42 environmental seal rating providing basic protection against dust and water droplets, and operates in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). For more demanding warehouse or outdoor environments with exposure to drops, extreme temperatures, or harsh conditions, consider Honeywell's industrial-grade mobile computers or rugged handheld scanners.

Does the 1602g require a separate Bluetooth dongle or base station?

The 1602g can pair directly with any Bluetooth-enabled device without requiring a dongle. However, it is also compatible with Honeywell Access Points (models AP01-010BT or AP01-100BT, sold separately) which provide enhanced functionality including two-way communication between scanner and host for remote management, configuration updates, and firmware upgrades.

What is the scanning range for typical retail barcodes?

For standard 13 mil UPC barcodes commonly found on retail products, the 1602g scans from 39mm to 292mm (1.5" to 11.5") distance. For 20 mil Code 39 barcodes, the range extends from 43mm to 408mm (1.7" to 16"). Smaller codes like 10 mil Data Matrix can be read from 35mm to 122mm (1.4" to 4.8"), providing flexibility for various applications and label sizes.

Is a wall charger included with the 1602g?

The standard package includes the 1602g scanner with battery, a micro-USB charging cable (1.2 meters), and a wrist strap/lanyard. A wall power adapter is not included and must be purchased separately if you don't have an existing USB wall charger. Any standard USB wall adapter (5V output) is compatible for charging.
