# Connect a Socket Mobile Scanner to Android

## You can pair a Socket Mobile scanner to InspectNTrack for faster scanning.

 

**Before you start:** On Android, the Socket Mobile Durascan works together with the free **Socket Mobile Companion** app. Companion must stay installed and running in the background whenever you scan with InspectNTrack — not just during setup.

**Step 1: Install Socket Mobile Companion.** Download **Socket Mobile Companion** from the Google Play Store.

**Step 2. Switch the scanner to Android mode.** A new Durascan Scanner comes set up for iPhone. Scan the Android/Windows Application Mode (SPP) barcode from the D740 user guide.

**Step 3. Turn off Zebra scanning in InspectNTrack.** Open InspectNTrack, go to Settings, and turn off Zebra Bluetooth Scanners. This keeps InspectNTrack from grabbing the D740’s connection by mistake.

**Step 4. Close InspectNTrack completely.** Press the square button in the Android bottom toolbar, then swipe up on the minimized app window to perform a hard close.

**Step 5. Pair the scanner using Companion.** Open Socket Mobile Companion and follow its on-screen steps to connect the Durascan scanner.

**Step 6. Test the scanner inside Companion.** Scan any barcode and confirm it shows up in Companion. This confirms the scanner is connected correctly.

**Step 7. Open InspectNTrack and start scanning.**

**Scans stopped arriving?** The most common cause is that Android closed the Companion app in the background. Open Companion again, then return to InspectNTrack. If it keeps happening, check your phone’s battery settings and allow Companion to run in the background without restrictions.

**A scanner can only be set up for one type of device at a time.** To move a Durascan from an iPhone to an Android device (or back), you need to switch its mode again and remove the old pairing from the device you’re no longer using.
