System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a
scanner to a base, as you move a scanner out of range and bring a scanner back in
range. The following information explains the cordless system operating condi-
tions.
Link Process
Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner's instant charge
pack status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it
to the base depending on the selected link mode.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not trans-
mitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can't communicate with the base for
a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a bar
code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base.
A cordless charge base can also sound an alarm. Refer to
Alarm, page 97.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base have been reset, or the scanner
comes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will hear a single chirp when the
relinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete. Refer to
Range Alarm
Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols;
others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to the base when back
in range (see
You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short
buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not working. Once the
radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the data is
being transferred to the base.
