The Datalogic QuickScan QM2500 is a cordless 2D handheld barcode scanner that uses Datalogic's 433 MHz STAR radio instead of Bluetooth – for a reliable, interference-free connection even in busy shops with heavy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic. Its 1 MP imager reads 1D, 2D and Digimarc codes from paper labels and phone screens, with Datalogic's Green Spot good-read confirmation. A removable 3250 mAh battery lasts for approx. 115,000 reads per charge, and the BC2090-BK-433 base station charges the scanner and connects it to your PC or POS via USB, USB-C or RS-232. It comes with a 5-year Datalogic warranty. This version, QM2500-BK-433K1, is black and is supplied as a complete USB kit with the BC2090-BK-433 base station and a 2 m USB cable, ready to plug in and scan.
📦 What's in the box – QM2500-BK-433K1
- ✅ Datalogic QuickScan QM2500 scanner – black, 2D imager, 433 MHz STAR radio
- ✅ Rechargeable battery – Li-ion, 3250 mAh, removable – charge fully before first use
- ✅ BC2090-BK-433 base station (433 MHz) – radio receiver and charger in one: charges the scanner and sends its data to your PC or POS (USB, USB-C or RS-232, depending on the cable)
- ✅ USB cable – Type A, straight, 2 m, black, Datalogic 90A052258 – connects and powers the base
- ❌ Power supply – not included – not needed with USB (the base is powered by the host); for faster charging or RS-232 hosts without power on pin 9, add the 90ACC0287 power supply
💡 Linking is simple: place the scanner in the base station and it links automatically – no pairing codes or Bluetooth setup. The QM2500 works only with its 433 MHz STAR base (one scanner per base, up to 30 m in open air); it cannot connect directly to a PC, tablet or smartphone. The scanner can also be charged through its USB-C port.
💡 The base doubles as a charging stand on the counter. Need a wall or desk holder, or a second battery for multi-shift use? Add the Datalogic holder HLD-Q040-BK or a spare battery RBP-QBT25-BK.
