CS60 Series Companion Scanner

Adapts to Any Workflow

First-Of-Its-Kind Convertible Design

Do you need a cordless companion scanner paired to a cradle or mobile device, a corded handheld or a hands-free presentation scanner connected to a checkout stand? With the CS60, you don’t have to choose. Simply swap the battery and corded USB converter at any time to change between corded and cordless scanning.

Add the optional presentation stand to a corded scanner to automatically switch between hands-free and handheld modes. This unparalleled versatility minimizes investment risk as it’s easy to meet new workflow needs or redeploy CS60 scanners to a different application.

Proven Scanning Performance You Can Trust

A high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology provide unparalleled performance on the most challenging barcodes — including poorly printed, damaged dirty, crinkled, low-contrast, glossy, and electronic barcodes on dimly lit mobile phone displays. When you choose the CS60, you get Zebra’s world-renowned quality and reliability.

Effortless Multi-Tasking with a Second Programmable Button

Your workers may be scanning at the point of sale one minute, then taking inventory the next. That’s why the CS60 has a second programmable button that can be used to instantly toggle between two host applications. With a quick press of the button, workers can send data to the right application in the proper format and order.

Easy to Clean Seamless Construction

With its monocoque design, inductive sensing touch buttons and contactless charging, the scanner has a crevice-free surface that’s easy to clean and keep clean shift after shift.

Durable for All-Day, Every-Day Use

Drop it on the floor. Spill water on it. Use it in a dusty backroom or out on the receiving dock. With best-in-class IP65 sealing and a 6 ft./1.8 m drop specification, the CS60 is engineered for durability and uptime.

Cutting-Edge Mobility

QI Inductive Charging

Support for inductive charging on the CS60 eliminates the need for battery contact cleaning and maintenance.¹ While you get the fastest charging times with Zebra’s inductive charging solution, you’re free to use any off-the-shelf Qi wireless charging pad to charge the CS60.

Split-Second NFC Tap-to-Pair

Pair the CS60 with any NFC-enabled device with a quick tap. Even new workers are up and running in seconds, without needing support.

Pocketable and Wearable — for When Mobility Is Essential

The cordless CS60 is designed to fit naturally in the hand or be tucked in a pocket. Pair the CS60 with the optional lanyard and silicone protector to safely and comfortably wear the scanner all shift long.

Full Shift Power and Beyond

The fully charged battery delivers 18 hours of power — more than enough for your longest shifts. Batteries can be easily replaced without special tools. And a dedicated battery gauge makes it easy to see at a glance when it's time to change or charge a battery.

Keep Spare Batteries on Hand with Versatile Charging Options

Multiple charging options make it easy to keep your scanners and spare batteries charged for around-the-clock operation. Four-slot device and four-slot battery chargers are compatible with Zebra’s ShareCradle charging system for easy backroom management. And single-slot scanner and battery chargers are ideal on any desk.

Extended 330 ft./100 m Range

The CS60 is a certified BT 5.0 device. With Class 1 Bluetooth®, users can roam up to 330 ft./100 m from the host device for greater flexibility.

Eliminate Bluetooth Interference with Wi-Fi^TM Friendly Mode

Ensure that your cordless CS60 scanners only operate on channels that are not shared with your Wi-Fi network.

Prevent Downtime with Anti-Loss Tools

With Zebra’s Virtual Tether, both the cradle and scanner will alert users when a device is taken out of range or left out of the cradle for an extended period of time. As a result, you won’t have to worry about a customer accidentally leaving self-checkout with a cordless scanner in their cart or an associate misplacing a scanner in the backroom. And if a CS60 is lost, simply press the cradle’s paging button to locate it.

Easy to Configure and Manage

Easily Capture Label Data for Better Inventory Management

With Label Parse+, the CS60 Series can instantly capture and parse GS1 label barcode data on items, enabling easy data capture, including expiration dates and lot number/manufacturing location.

Switch Workflows in an Instant with AutoConfig

Zebra’s AutoConfig cradle automatically configures the CS60 for your workflow. For example, you can take a CS60 from self-checkout and use it for a manned lane, customer service, inventory or receiving without having to change settings. Since scanner settings are stored in the cradle base, simply pair the scanner to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application and use case.

Flexible Feedback Modes To Fit Your Environment

The CS60 supports a good decode LED, haptic feedback, a beep tone with adjustable tone/volume and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the barcode. And both haptic and audible feedback are available on the trigger touch.

Simplify the Scanning Experience

With Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), the CS60 can scan multiple barcodes with a single trigger pull and transmit only the barcodes you need, in the order your application expects. And with Zebra’s Preferred Symbol, the CS60 can capture and output only the preferred barcode, so workers no longer have to waste time physically covering nearby barcodes before scanning.

Up-to-the-Minute Insight Into Every Aspect of Your Scanners

Remote Diagnostics capabilities automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, configuration settings and barcode data—giving you the information needed for event verification, blockchain traceability, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and predictive fleet-wide trend analysis.
