(Don’t drop it…) Wait for it…
This is going to be an unboxing of the handheld naughty’s x41 ruggedized handheld scanner with numeric keypad
Hey! It’s Keith the guy with the tie at Longwell Technologies and today we’re going to be unboxing the Handheld Nautiz X41 rugged mobile optimized handheld 1D scanner.
So first let’s take a look at the box. It’s nice and clean, clearly shows you what’s inside. Here it says Handheld along the sides and has the model number and serial number and such on the bottom.
So let’s go ahead and open her up. Just slides right off. The first thing we see is there is a quick start guide in here for the Nautiz X41, what’s in the box you’re Nautiz X41, showing where the buttons are, the power button and the scanner buttons the function buttons. Where the battery goes, where the flash is, as well as how to remove and insert and remove the battery inserting extracting sim and micro sd cards. Then using the scanner so a nice little booklet.
Here we have the actual scanner. It’s got two little notches to help pull it out to the box. Slide it out of this box and.. ooh nice and shiny. It’s kind of tapered down here it’s not just rectangular. All around. First thing I kind of noticed though is that I’m holding it, not flat on the back it’s got a little bit of a shape here and a velcro strap so I can slide my fingers in here hold it. It gives a little bit of a shape for your hand and a place to hold it and grip it real nicely. I can adjust this a little tighter and a little looser with the velcro and some sort of stretchy material and the velcro and so that holds real nice. Notice right now I’m holding. It’s a good size in my hand and turn it upside down, move it around I’m not going to drop it.
So let’s see the scanner buttons. It said on they were on the sides here in here as well as one right here that looks like a little bar code. So right there and that’s the one I’d imagine probably at the moment that feels like the one to be the most comfortable. If I were scanning something so my hand just is here.
I’ve got a full numeric keypad here. One two three four five six seven eight nine dot zero and a dash. There’s a home key, back, delete, return, a blue button that’s going to be probably some kind of function button. As I look at the keypad, there are blue letters on here so probably to switch between letters and numbers. There’s an F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5. I believe those are programmable keys. On here it says Nautiz X41 Handheld.
Right here the barcode scanner the actual 1d scanner the laser scanner is up in here so don’t look at it and it’ll burn your eyes out. There’s a flash here and inside here is where it said the battery would be. So nice thing there is there is a switch here and you might have to loosen this up a little bit but there is a little thing oh slide it slide it through sliding it the wrong way and reach my fingernail in there. Sure enough, this opens up and I can see into the back to put a battery in as well as the SD and sim cards go in here so we will get the battery out in a minute. I’m sure so what should be in here let’s look at those contents besides the scanner the content said that we should have?
The standard battery should be included, a charging dock. Yeah, that’s nice USB cable. Now I do know that the manufacturer informed me that this is not included in here that is being shipped separate so I don’t expect to see that in here today. Then an adapter. So let’s take a look. So now we’ve got this cover. Comes off here and inside here I’ve got what look to be universal plugs so I will pull these out we’ve got a couple of different ones for different countries and hopefully there’s this looks like the one for America. That’s the United States one that I would use. So I’ll set that here and now this will slide down like this and reveal a couple of pieces inside here. The first one I’m pulling out looks like to be the charger. So this is the actual charging. So this looks like it’ll slide onto here as well as you can put these other ones in here. Nope you probably heard that click right in so pretty solid click in there. There’s a button I can press here to release it and be able to swap it to another one if I were traveling, but it’s locked in there pretty good and it’s got a slot for a USB cable. Pretty standard.
Then here is the charging dock that it comes with. Now this here it’s got two little points in there which on the bottom of this device there were two contacts here so I would imagine that it’s going to click and you might have heard that little snap to click them in together.
So it can plug in that way there also is a thing here that showed here on the manual that this should pop open and that would be where you plug that USB cable in. Yeah. It’s a USB-C cable that could plug in here. So instead of using this you could plug it in and out of here but as we all know these are sometimes finicky hooking them in and out and a lot of finicky things with those in and then you’re popping this open and close. This is nice that you can lock it into something. Pretty solidly locked in and now it’s locked in and go to charge through this wire. Let’s see. I’m gonna guess that wire looks fairly long. Let’s see, a little twist tie and I would say that’s probably about five feet based upon my arm span. So about a five feet foot cable.
The way it locks in there, that reminds me a lot of this a lot like what the car chargers were for other devices and I could see this working really nice as a car charger because it clicks in. So it’ll hold it in place there you can set it on the car seat next to you while driving down the road and then just plug this into a good car charger, one that’s going to have enough power to actually charge it. Not one of the dollar ones you buy at the gas station, but a good one (and I’ll see if i can put a link to one down below that might work with this) and that’s that’s. Nice though.
I do have a little bonus that is why I wasn’t worried about the USB cable not being involved and I got a bonus that will show in a few minutes for something in replace of this year. So let’s take a look, and now we’ve got last in this box and the box is empty is the battery and it’s in this little sleeve slide it out?
As I said it is a removable replaceable battery so that’s nice you can have a spare one being charged. That’s charged you can replace it as the unit gets older. A lot of devices aren’t allowing you to do that nowadays. So this is something you used to always be able to do and now you can’t. So this one you can. So there’s this little switch back here where the battery goes. They are rugged these are ruggedized devices. Let’s see. I’m gonna jump to my cheat sheet now
As I’ve dropped that…
It’s got a drop test of 26 times from four feet. That’s one.
It can handle cold temperatures from negative 4 degrees up to 122 Fahrenheit. So pretty cold to pretty hot 122. That’s operating conditions. Storage conditions can be as cold as negative 40 and as hot as 158. So if you were using this as a car charger and you left it in the van overnight and it did get to freezing temperatures this device is not going to crack and freeze.
I’m going to pick it up now.
All right I’ve got it. The reason I dropped it is I was removing the strap I should have set this down on the table to do this removing the strap to pop open the battery. So I was not holding the strap either and I was trying to pop things open and I did not unlock it so I’ll go and slide this in it just slides right in with the adapters or the pin connectors at the top. Put this towards the bottom, and up at the top lock it closed. So now that is locked and put the strap back on and put my hand back in the strap, I don’t need to drop this again in this video. So with this, it does hold real nice it’s nice and light.
Let’s see if it’s got any power on it. Power button is here. Press it and hold it a couple seconds. There it comes up saying Handheld Powered by Android. So this will boot up in a minute.
While that is booting let me show you a little bonus we’ve got here. I got this package here now this is a another charging a docking station so you see the package is pretty basic just brown box but I’m going to open it. We’ve got more brown packaging and bubble wrap inside. The bubble wrap and some foam to keep it all secure and shipping.
I open it up and now I’ve got a charging station. So this it’s got four rubber pads on the bottom all black. It’s got a little bit of weight to it. Not bad enough that you know you’re going to feel a little bit. As I’ve set it down here on this table those rubber feet are holding it pretty well in place. So that’s nice and with it we’ve also got a another power wall outlet with the USB cable that’s plug that goes in here and this has got the United States plug in here. But it can pop out I’m imagining we’ll be pulling out the universal adapters here in a minute.
I’ve got the actual cable here for this one and this cable looks like the one end looks like your rectangular USB style and the other end is round yeah. So we got a round plug on the back here and then this other end would just plug straight into there and then, yeah, the other piece we have in here what’s left in here are three universal plugs. So just like they had the other ones, here these are the same these are the same ones but then you can use them for the docking station in different countries.
So let’s see how the unit would set inside here.
So here it is and it’s now ready for me to put my startup stuff in here, but let’s go ahead and drop it in so… oh that’s nice. Yeah, Okay. It locks in and to keep this on a table or a desk at a office. That just nice. It’s a solid place. You know where it goes. It belongs here. Here is its home. Take it home at the end of the day. No don’t take it home, put it in it it’s home so you know where it’s. And when the next person is going to use it, you know it’s going to be charged. You know it’s sitting in here. You know it’s sitting in here and charged, because it set in here real nicely and I don’t have it plugged in.
There’s a couple of light indicators here that I imagine are going to light up to tell you that it is indeed charging. So when I put it in here we should see those lights come on saying it’s charging. You real easily see that it’s in the cradle and charging. It looks pretty cool like that. So let’s take a look at the settings.
To turn on the scanner I’ve gone in and pulling the swipe down from the top to get the list of settings and then here I am going to find the scan settings and I can turn it on but thing I really want to see is the Symbologies. We got code bar, code 11, code 39, code 93, code 128, code 128 isbt, ean8, and gen 8, ean13, gn13, es128, interleave, 205, msi, upca, upce, upc, e1.
So you can turn those all on or off. This is the 1d scanner so the 2d settings are not in here but that has them all there and I’ve clicked the enable and you can see that it does the 1D barcode scanning. So just if I had an app like our order tracker application on here I could scan apps or scan barcodes and load them into the app.
So pretty nice feel. Nice size screen size. It’s good because you got the extra keypad. So it makes a little bit smaller than some devices, but they’ve still got a lot of space on there. So overall pretty nice unit
Thanks for watching this is Keith the tie Guy with Longwell Technologies and this was the NAUTIZ X41 by Handheld box opening.
