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.
