Newland WD2 Barcode Scanner (WD2-BS50-MR)

The Newland WD2 (Nwear by Newland) is a compact Bluetooth® wearable scanner worn on the back of the hand: it clicks magnetically onto an Integrated Trigger Strap with the scan trigger between thumb and forefinger, so both hands stay free for picking, carrying and packing. Its megapixel 2D imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes – even high-density or damaged ones. Bluetooth 5.0 gives up to 80 m range, and the 670 mAh battery lasts up to 10 hours. This version, WD2-BS50-MR, has the Mid Range (MR) engine with a red laser dot aimer – for larger codes at longer distances, up to 3.5 m. It is supplied as the scanner only – the trigger strap and a charging cable or cradle are ordered separately.

Key Features

• Truly hands-free – worn on the back of the hand on an Integrated Trigger Strap (sold separately) with the scan trigger between thumb and forefinger; for right- and left-handed operators, in S/M and L sizes – the large strap also fits over thicker gloves.
• Quick-click magnetic dock – the scanner clicks onto the strap magnetically and an additional securing strap holds it in place until the operator removes it; at just 43 g it is comfortable for a full shift.
• Mid Range for longer distances – a megapixel 1280 × 800 imager with a red laser dot aimer that stays visible from further away; EAN-13 (13 mil) up to 850 mm and large Code 39 labels (100 mil) up to 3.5 m – ideal for shelf and rack labels.
• Reads almost anything – 1D and 2D codes including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec and MaxiCode, plus postal codes and OCR (OCR-B, passport MRZ) – even high-density, damaged or distorted barcodes.
• Bluetooth 5.0 with 80 m range – anti-interference Bluetooth 5.0 (HID and BLE) pairs directly with smartphones, tablets, mobile computers and PCs; with the Newland WD1 wrist computer simply by scanning an on-screen barcode.
• 10-hour battery – the 670 mAh Li-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of continuous operation (one scan every 15 s) and recharges in under 2 hours.
• Daisy-chain charging – the compact CD50 2-slot cradle (optional) has mounting points and magnets that hold the WD2 securely even when wall-mounted; cradles link into 4-, 6-, 8- or 10-bay stations on a single power supply.
• Built for the warehouse – IP65 dust and water protection, 1.5 m drop rating, −20 °C to 50 °C operating temperature, beep, LED and vibration feedback, EasySet configuration and a 2-year Newland warranty.

Not sure which version you need? Choose the WD2-BS50-SR for precise close-range scanning of small or densely packed barcodes, or the WD2-BS50-MR to read larger labels from further away – for example on shelves and racks. Both need a trigger strap and a charging cable or cradle.
