PIN Code

To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the digital scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five
alphanumeric programming bar codes (see
12345.
If the digital scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the
digital scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the digital scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN
codes. If the digital scanner is not connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes affect on the digital
scanner. If security is required between the digital scanner and cradle, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing
fails. If the PIN codes are not synchronized, re-synchronize them by disabling security, establishing a
connection to the cradle, and then programming a new PIN code.
Variable PIN Code
The default PIN code is the user-programmed Static PIN Code. Typically, however, HID connections require
entering a Variable PIN Code. If, when attempting connection, the application presents a text box that includes
a PIN, scan the Variable PIN Code bar code, then re-attempt connection. When you hear a beep indicating
the digital scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the
Alphanumeric Bar Codes on page
characters. The digital scanner discards the variable PIN code after connection.
