System Conditions

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

Linking Process

Once an image scanner is placed into the base, the image scanner's battery
charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the image scanner
and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.

Image Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless image scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is
not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the image scanner can't communicate
with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the image scanner is out of
range and you scan a barcode, the image scanner issues a triple beep indicating
no communication with the base. In addition, your image scanner and base can
sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm.

Image Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The image scanner re-links if the image scanner or the base have been reset or
the image scanner comes back into range. If the image scanner re-links, you will
hear a single chirp when the re-linking process (uploading of the parameter
table) is complete.
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode
On
The image scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC
symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base
when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep 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 image
scanner produces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the
base.
