ScanAvenger SA9000 Wireless 1D/2D Barcode Scanner with Bluetooth and Charging Base

The ScanAvenger SA9000 is a cordless 1D and 2D barcode scanner that connects through an included 2.4G wireless USB dongle, Bluetooth or a USB cable, and comes with a charging base that doubles as a stand. It works as a keyboard-input device, so scanned data appears wherever your cursor is placed, with no software or app to install.

Key features

• Three connection options: 2.4G wireless USB dongle (included), Bluetooth 4.2 or USB cable.
• No software needed: ScanAvenger describes the SA9000 as plug and play; computers and mobile devices recognize it as a keyboard.
• Wireless range: up to 493 ft (150 m) in open areas with the 2.4G dongle, according to ScanAvenger; obstacles shorten the range.
• Charging base: the smart charging base holds and charges the scanner.
• Storage mode: saves scans in the scanner's 2 MB memory (over 20,000 product codes) for upload to the connected device later.
• Time-saving settings: vibration, custom prefixes and suffixes, hiding leading or trailing characters, and adjustable transmission speed so apps like Google Sheets or older devices can keep up.
• Two scan modes: manual trigger or auto-sense.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ScanAvenger SA9000 need drivers or an app?

No. In its keyboard (HID) modes the SA9000 is recognized as a keyboard, so there is nothing to install and scanned data is typed wherever the cursor is placed. Only the optional Bluetooth SPP and BLE modes require compatible software.

Is the SA9000 a Wi-Fi scanner?

ScanAvenger's product name includes "Wi-Fi", but its specifications list the wireless connections as a 2.4G link through the included USB dongle and Bluetooth 4.2; no Wi-Fi network setup is described. A USB cable connection is also supported.

Does the SA9000 work with Square, Shopify or ShopKeep?

No. ScanAvenger states that the SA9000 does not work with Square, Shopify or ShopKeep. For other POS or inventory software, confirm that it accepts keyboard-input scanners, because ScanAvenger notes some developers restrict which scanners work.

How far from the computer can I scan with the ScanAvenger SA9000?

ScanAvenger lists up to 493 ft (150 m) in open areas with the 2.4G dongle; walls and other obstacles shorten the range. When you are out of range, storage mode keeps scans in memory so you can upload them later.

How long does the battery last?

ScanAvenger's quick user guide lists a 2,200 mAh battery with about 3 hours of charging time and 20 hours of continuous working time. ScanAvenger recommends charging with a standard 5V/1A charger or a computer USB port rather than a fast charger.
