The Symbol LI-4278 is a wireless barcode scanner. It uses a cradle (base) and a handheld wireless scanner. If you are experiencing problems, let's use a few steps to see if we can get you back in business fast.

Luckily, most issues are solved by scanning a special barcode that resets your scanner, so let's start there:

1. Plug your scanner cradle (base) into your computer

2. Scan the barcode below with your scanner. You don't need to print this page, you can scan the barcode right from the screen.

3. Test your scanner by scanning a Client ID card while you are logged into your CharityTracker or Oasis Insight network.

4. If step 3 fails, move to the steps below as there may be problem with your driver.

If you know that there is not an issue with your driver, please contact our support team. Our contact information is here -
