Optimized for smartphones - CHS Series 8 Barcode Scanners

The Socket Mobile Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) Series 8 is a small, thin and easy to use barcode scanner optimized for smartphones. Featuring full software support, the CHS Series 8 is easy to attach to your smartphone when in use and easy to detach and slip in your pocket when not in use.
