Pocket-sized scanner for mobile workers
The Socket Mobile S840 reads 1D and 2D barcodes and connects via RF to Android, Windows and Apple-certified iOS devices. It weighs 48 g and measures 1.27 cm thick so it fits in a shirt pocket for all-day use in retail, logistics or field service.
Pair once and scan
Bluetooth pairing is a single tap on the host device; the Capture SDK handles the rest for custom apps. The antimicrobial shell resists bacteria and the LED aimer projects a bright rectangular field with a centre dot for accurate first-time reads.
Sixteen-hour shift on one charge
The internal battery delivers over 16 hours of continuous scanning so a full work day passes without recharging. Audible tones, hand pulsation and Bluetooth indicators give immediate feedback even in noisy environments.
