Set up a Socket Mobile S700 barcode scanner for use with Lightspeed Restaurant by putting the scanner into iOS mode and pairing it with an iOS device running the Restaurant POS app. After setting up a scanner, add barcodes to products in Restaurant Manager so employees can use the scanner to add those items to orders.

Socket Mobile Scanners are not compatible with Quick Service mode in Lightspeed Restaurant. Before setting up your scanner, select Table service mode for your device profiles in Restaurant Manager > Devices > Restaurant App Settings.

Pairing the scanner with an iOS device

1. Hold the Power button on the scanner to turn it on.
2. Scan the iOS mode barcode below or in the scanner’s manual. If you print the barcode, do not stretch it as this can make it unscannable.  

   New barcode scanners will be set to HID mode by default before completing this step. Only iOS mode, not HID mode, is compatible with the Lightspeed Restaurant app.

   

3. Wait for the scanner to beep three times, indicating it has entered iOS mode.
4. On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on.
5. Wait for the Socket device name to appear on the screen under Devices or Other Devices (if Bluetooth accessories have been paired with this iOS device before).
6. Tap the Socket device name on screen to pair it with the iOS device. When pairing is complete, the scanner’s status will change to Connected.

Unpairing the scanner

1. To unpair the scanner, go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iOS device.
2. Tap the "i" icon
3. Select Forget This Device.

Factory resetting the scanner

To reset the scanner to factory settings, scan the factory reset barcode.
