Pairing Modes
When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
•
Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or to three scanners in
Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code
on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled
rejected. The currently connected scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a
Maintenance Interval on page
•
Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR
bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This
unpairs the previous scanner from the cradle (Point-to-Point mode only).
NOTE In Multipoint-to-Point mode, pairing a fourth scanner while in Unlocked Pairing Mode replaces any
disconnected (out of range) scanner. However, if three scanners are actively connected to the cradle, a
fourth scanner cannot connect unless you first disconnect one of the original scanners by scanning the
Unpair bar code.
To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Lock Override
Lock Override overrides a locked scanner base pairing and connects a new scanner. In Multipoint-to-Point mode,
this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) scanner first, in order to connect the new scanner.
To use Lock Override, scan the bar code below, followed by the pairing bar code on the cradle.
