The Laser Scanner You Wear on Your Finger to Read Bar Codes without Interrupting Workflow
The RS 1 Ring Scanner from Symbol Technologies redefines point and shoot scanning. It's the revolutionary laser scanner you slip on your index finger - and then go to work: Point your finger, activate the scanner with a squeeze of your thumb and the RS 1 reads bar codes from four to 30 in./10 to 76 cm, even poor quality bar codes.
Revolutionary Ergonomics and Performance for
Truly Hands-Free Scanning
The RS 1 Ring Scanner is activated by pressing the thumb against a button at the base of the wearer's index finger. A red and green LED on the ring confirms the scan. Weighing less than 1.7 oz./48 gm, the RS 1 is so light it can be worn indefinitely without fatigue. And, at just 0.9 in./2.3 cm high, it's compact enough to avoid bumps and knocks; but even when it doesn't there's a scratch-resistant coating to protect the replaceable window. Its Mylar scan element is not only super small and lightweight, it's frictionless, so there's no wear and tear on the moving parts.
The mount for the RS 1 features an adjustable strap, allowing it to fit fingers of all sizes, and because it's reversible it works equally well for right- and left-handers. With user safety in mind, Symbol has designed the ring scanner to break away
from the finger at under 20 lbs./9 kg of pressure.
