Quick Start Guide - Device Basics & Scan Range Control

What’s Already Set Up

Your Handheld Reader (Scanner Gun) is:

  • Preloaded with your G2G app
  • Already signed in
  • Ready to scan out of the box — no setup needed, but you may want to tweak some settings.

Step 1: Turning It On & Charging it

  • Press and hold the Power button (on the left side of the screen).
  • The device will vibrate and the screen will light up.
  • If the screen is already on, tap the Power button once to wake it.
  • The device should lasts a full shift with normal use.
  • To charge, plug in via USB cable or cradle at the end of each day.
  • System LED (top of screen) shows battery status

4. Touchscreen Tips

  • Works just like a smartphone — tap, scroll, swipe
  • Tap Power if the screen sleeps


5. How to Adjust Scan Range

If you’re picking up too many RFID tags, you can reduce the scan range to make scanning more precise. Scan range is now controlled within each scanning function (Manage Tags, Conduct Stocktake, Check Inventory, etc.) rather than from the Settings menu.

  • Open the scanning function you want to use (e.g. Manage Tags, Conduct Stocktake, or Check Inventory).
  • Use the range slider at the top of the screen to adjust the scan power.
  • Adjust the level:
    • -100 = Long range (10+ m) — use to scan large areas
    • -40 = Close range (under 1m) — use for precision scanning
 

Pro Tips for Best Scans

  • Hold scanner 30–50 cm from tags
  • RFID doesn’t need line of sight (great for scanning inside bags or crates)
  • Don’t point camera at reflective surfaces
  • If beeps are too loud/quiet → adjust with Volume + /
