handsfree mode prefixes

Created by Doug Stoddart, Modified on Thu, 15 Apr, 2021 at 6:31 PM by support team

BRM handsfree mode uses the following prefixes to differentiate types of data:


Items (e.g. bikes) are the only primary data type not to require a prefix.

So if you scan NF1 BRM will search for a bike with ID NF1 (and or barcode ID of NF1)


The following types of data require these prefixes so BRM can identify the type of data
