the scanner is linked to the desired Base Station. See
Scanner to a Base Station" on page 5
the scanner is within reasonable operating range of the Base Sta-
tion, with no major obstructions between the radio units such as
thick walls or heavy machinery. (At the time of this writing, maxi-
mum scanner-to-Base Station range is specified at 100 meters.)
the Base Station is powered-on. When the Base Station powers up,
both LEDs briefly flash. If both lights are bright and crisp, this is a
good indication of adequate power input from either Power Off
the Terminal (P.O.T.) or the optional AC Adapter (if used).
the Base Station interface cable is securely attached to the host.
Consult your technical support manager or refer to your host sys-
tem manual to identify the proper cable connection for the scan-
ner. If necessary, verify interface cable function by using a known-
good interface cable.

Troubleshooting the Scanner

If the problem is specific to scanning, verify that...
The scanner will automatically perform a set of self-tests whenever
you turn it on. Observe and note any special indications made by
the scanner (an unexpected pattern of flashes or beeps) during
power-up. If technical support is contacted regarding a problem,
they may request this information.
Does the scanner power on? Does the illumination beam come on?
If no illumination beam, check that...
• the battery has been adequately charged.
• the battery is fully seated and its latch engaged.
• the trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the symbols...
• aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
