# How can I avoid re-pairing the Scan2 barcode scanner every time I use a Rufus device?

## The Scan2 wearable scanners and Rufus Android devices are meant to pair 1:1. We recommend keeping paired devices labeled with the same letter or number.

- The RC Pro and RADD Tab devices should remain paired with the Scan2 module they were most recently paid with, if no other changes have been made. It’s advised that you label paid devices together.
- For best results, begin each session by waking up the Scan2 with a few scan clicks (listen for a beep and blue light from the scan module to indicate it is on) before launching into WorkHero. This will enable an auto-reconnection on the WorkHero sign on page.
