Chapter 1 Introduction
This user’s manual is dedicated to MT8230B, a 2D wireless handheld scanner that provides
freedom of mobility for user to transmit data to the host from up to 10 meters (33 feet) away. The
charging cradle that comes with the scanner can also serve as a wireless transponder that
instantly enables your host device with wireless communication using USB HID interface without
the need of any driver. Supported by a 1620mAh battery, MT8230B helps user operate around
the clock with less downtime ensuring mobile productivity during the entire busy shift.

Bluetooth Profile
Cradle Mode (USB version)
Cradle Mode allows barcode data to be transmitted to host device via the built-in Bluetooth
transponder in charging cradle with a cable, providing wireless connectivity to the host deivce that
does not have built-in Bluetooth adapter. Follow below steps:
1. Plug the charging cradle to host device with an USB cable.
2. Power up the scanner
3. Scan USB HID Cradle Mode (recommended) or USB VCP Cradle Mode
4. The scanner will emit one short beep with LED indicator turning solid blue after successfully
connecting to charging cradle. If the charging cradle fails to connect to the scanner, scan
