Radio Communications Host Types
Parameter # 383
To set up the scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles,
scan the appropriate host type programming symbol below.
Classic Bluetooth vs. Low Energy Bluetooth
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth has a better Wi-Fi coexistence, as advertising and
connection is done outside of the Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 (2402, 2426, 2480 MHz). Due
to its lower data rate, Bluetooth Low Energy is up to seven times slower than Classic Bluetooth
(0.27 Mbps versus 0.7-2.1 Mbps). Data intensive activities such as firmware updates, can
take significantly longer over Bluetooth Low Energy.
Cradle
Select this host type when connecting a scanner to a communication cradle.
The scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection
occurs that is due to the radio losing communication.
To establish a connection (for initial setup only):
1. Scan the Cradle-Classic Bluetooth or Cradle-Low Energy programming symbol.
2. Scan the pairing symbol on the cradle or place the scanner in the cradle.
