A Companion Pocket Scanner That’s Corded or Cordless

The Ultra-versatile Zebra CS60 Corded/ Cordless Scanner 

The CS60 companion scanner can adapt to any workflow. Its groundbreaking design easily converts between corded and cordless operation, handheld and hands-free, as your needs change. Whether purchased as a corded or cordless model upfront, users can change modes at any time by simply swapping the battery and corded USB converter.

Who benefits from these features?

The retail industry uses this device for mobile point of sale, inventory and cycle counting, merchandising and repairs. The CS60's pocket size and IP65 rating make it convenient and durable. Hospitality, transportation, logistics and light manufacturing lower their total cost of ownership by eliminating the purchase of multiple device types.

Users get a full range of charging solutions, including Zebra's inductive charging solutions for the fastest charging times, the ability to use any off-the-shelf wireless Qi charging pad and multi-slot Share Cradles that are compatible with other Zebra devices. The CS60's Virtual Tether and paging button make keeping track of cordless scanners simple. NFC Tap to Pair offers fool-proof pairing with any NFC-enabled device, while Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates Bluetooth interference.

Benefits of small companion scanners 

Zebra's CS60 has multiple configurations that allow it to connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or directly through USB to a computer or its charging base with a tablet or additional mobile device. The on-board memory can also hold many 1D barcodes that can be connected to a computer and uploaded manually. Zebra's proprietary PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology offers unparalleled efficiency even on the most difficult barcodes.  

A second programmable button lets users interface with two host applications. It's easy to clean the CS60 shift after shift thanks to best-in-class IP65 sealing and seamless, crevice-free construction. Plus, Zebra's unrivaled tools make staging and everyday management easier than ever.

Innovative Features of the CS60 Series Companion Scanner

  1. Effortless Multi-tasking with Second Programmable Button
    Staff can conveniently multi-task with the CS60 Series companion scanner using a second programmable button that can be designed for two separate workflows to communicate with another host application. Workers may submit data to the correct application in the proper format and order with a fast press of the button.

  2. Virtual Tether Minimizes Shift Interruptions
    The CS60 companion scanner's cradle paging button helps users to locate a misplaced cordless CS60 in seconds. With Zebra's built-in Virtual Tether functionality, both the cradle and the CS60 scanner alert users when a device is taken out of range, misplaced or unintentionally left out of the cradle for an extended period of time.

  3. Qi Inductive Charging
    Support for inductive charging on the CS60 eliminates the need for battery contact cleaning and maintenance. While users get the fastest charging times with Zebra's inductive charging solution, they can also use any off-the-shelf Qi wireless charging pad to charge the CS60. (Spare batteries and battery chargers have charging contacts and cannot be charged with a wireless charge pad.)

  4. Full Shift Power
    The CS60's fully charged battery delivers 18 hours of power—more than enough for the longest shifts. Batteries can be easily replaced without special tools. Plus, a dedicated battery gauge takes the guesswork out of charge status, so users know at a glance when it's time to charge the battery.

  5. Quick NFC Tap-To-Pair
    Users can pair the CS60 with any NFC-enabled device with a quick tap. Even new and temporary workers are up and running in seconds, without having to call for support.
