Zebra CS6080 | Cordless Companion 1D/2D Scanner | Apple MFi Certified | Qi Charging | Bluetooth 5.0 | IP65 | Black | Scanner Only
Overview
The Zebra CS6080-SR40004VMWW is the MFi-certified variant of the CS6080 cordless companion scanner. It shares the full CS60 feature set — PRZM Intelligent Imaging, Qi inductive wireless charging, NFC tap-to-pair, IP65, 18-hour battery, and Bluetooth 5.0 — and adds Apple MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) certification for guaranteed native SPP integration with iOS devices.
MFi certification matters when your POS, inventory, or retail app uses the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) for advanced data exchange with the scanner — features like prefix/suffix programming, barcode filtering, and custom data formatting. Without MFi, iOS devices restrict SPP connections to only Apple-certified accessories. If your iOS app uses HID mode only, the standard CS6080-SR40004VZWW works identically.
This is the Scanner Only cordless configuration. A Zebra Qi inductive charging cradle or any standard Qi wireless charging pad is required for charging and is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the MFi version if I use iPhones or iPads?
Not necessarily. If your iOS app uses Bluetooth HID mode (keyboard emulation), the standard CS6080 works identically. You need the MFi version only if your app requires the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) for advanced scanner features — check with your app provider before ordering.
Does MFi certification affect Android or Windows compatibility?
No. The MFi version is fully compatible with Android and Windows in the same way as the standard version. MFi certification only adds native SPP capability on iOS — it does not restrict use on other platforms.
Is the MFi version compatible with all Zebra CS6080 accessories?
Yes. The CS6080-SR40004VMWW uses the same battery, cradles, stands, and cables as all other CS6080 variants. The MFi certification is a firmware/Bluetooth stack difference only — hardware accessories are interchangeable across the CS60 family.
Can this scanner be converted to corded operation?
Yes. Replace the battery with the CS6080 USB-C corded converter (sold separately) and the scanner connects directly via USB-C. This conversion is fully reversible at any time with no tools required.
