Socket Mobile, Inc. CX3419-1838 barcode scanner white

Handheld 1D/2D imager for mobile workflows

The SocketScan S740 is a cordless barcode scanner built for retail, logistics and field-service staff who need reliable data capture away from a fixed terminal. Its omnidirectional imager reads both one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes, including symbols displayed on phone screens. Bluetooth connectivity pairs the scanner with Android, Windows and Apple-certified iOS devices without cables. Antimicrobial housing supports shared-use environments.

Capacity and headroom: 16-hour shift coverage

A pair of replaceable AA NiMH rechargeable cells powers the scanner for over 16 hours of typical scanning, covering most full shifts without a mid-day swap. Presentation mode enables continuous, trigger-free reading for high-throughput checkout or kiosk stations. The scanner handles standard 1D and 2D symbologies but does not decode specialised industrial codes or damaged labels beyond the published specification. Battery performance will vary with scan density and Bluetooth range.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

Passive cooling keeps the unit silent during operation; only LED aimer light, beeper and vibration alerts provide feedback. Power draw is limited to the low-current Bluetooth radio and imager, so the scanner remains cool in the hand throughout a shift. No fan, moving parts or external power supply are involved, eliminating acoustic and thermal concerns for counter-top or mobile use.
