Using the Dual-Position Trigger

The PDT 7200 has a dual-position scan trigger, which serves two functions. These functions
are programmable and may be changed for your application. The two positions of the trigger
are activated as follows:
The first trigger position is accessed by pulling the trigger to the first click and
!
releasing. This activates the keypad
The second position is accessed by pulling the trigger past the first click, the
!
remaining distance to the handle. This activates the scanner
Activation of the virtual keypad via the trigger can be disabled by pressing the "on
!
screen" user icon when the keypad is not visible, and re-enabled by pressing the icon
again. An audio sound is played upon activation and deactivation.
