Operating modes
Caution!
Data loss
An incorrectly preset interface may lead to data loss.
Make sure that the Handheld is connected to the interface (USB, RS 232, Bluetooth) preset in
the Handheld. If necessary, use another interface cable or modify the settings in the Handheld.
6.3.1
Wireless operation (batch mode)
For certain applications, wireless operation of the Handheld is recommended. As soon as you
remove the interface cable (USB, RS 232 cable), or you are outside the range of a Bluetooth
connection, the Handheld switches automatically to "Batch mode": In this mode, the data read
is buffered in the internal memory of the Handheld. This allows you to transfer the data saved in
the Handheld to a computer at a later time.
Note!
Using batteries
You will require a battery or a handle with integral battery to use the Handheld without a cable
as well as for cable operation with RS232.
A battery is not usually required for cable mode via USB. However, this depends on the
strength of the current supplied from the USB connection on the computer. If the computer
does not supply sufficient current to the USB connection, you will require a USB hub with
separate bulk power supply or a battery for the Handheld.
This optional accessory (see chapter 4.5) is available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
