The versatile CM-500W3 is compact (5 x 1.5 x 0.7) and lightweight (2 oz) and features 2 keys (scan/clear) plus a beeper and LEDs to indicate read status.

The CM-500W3 ‘s built-in Li-polymer battery pack (3.7V, 420mAH) can be recharged via any USB port, and the unit can read up to 15,000 scans before requiring a recharge.
