Using the Motion C5
Using the bar code scanner
You can use the built-in bar code scanner to retrieve information from bar codes. For more 
information about the bar code scanner, see “Bar code scanner (optional)” on page 13.
To use the bar code scanner
1. Open the application that you want to receive the bar code data and place the insertion 
point in the appropriate field.
2. Hold the C5 by the handle with the scanner window in front of you.
3. Aim the scanner window at the bar code.
4. Press and release the Bar code scanner button on the top of the C5. Ensure that the scan 
beam covers the entire bar code.
If the scan was successful, the data will appear in the application and you will hear a beep 
sound as confirmation.
