System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a
scanner to a base or Access Point, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a
scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The
following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Link Process

is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base
depending on the selected link mode.

linking to an Access Point.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point, even when
it is not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the scanner can't communicate with
the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of
range and you scan a barcode, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no
communication with the base or Access Point. A cordless charge base can also
sound an alarm. Refer to
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base or Access Point 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.

buzz when you press the trigger if the radio communication is not working. Once
the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the
