Scanning with the NeoReader™
application
Use your phone as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For
example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to
buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this
code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product information
or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard barcode types.

recognised. If the bar code is not recognised, tap

information, or tap Back to cancel the operation.
