Page 13: About The Reader
Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be done by scanning the programming barcodes within this guide or with Datalogic Aladdin™, available from the Datalogic website. See "Datalogic Aladdin™"...
Page 14: The Bc9Xx0™ Base Station/Charger
Introduction The BC9xx0™ Base Station/Charger The BC9xx0 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ 9501-AR readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS-232, USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts.
Page 15: Battery Safety
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range. Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and CAUTION void your warranty.
Page 16: Programming The Reader
In addition, Aladdin makes it easy to upgrade the handheld’s firmware, to attain the benefits of new reader features. Reference the Datalogic Aladdin™ Online Help for more details. Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website. PowerScan™ PD9531-AR/PBT9501-AR/PM9501-AR...

Page 19: Configuring The Base Station
Configuring the Base Station Configuring the Base Station To set up your BC9xx0 cradle you must: 1. Physically install the cradle. 2. Make all system connections. 3. Configure the BC9xx0 cradle. Mounting the BC9xx0 Cradle The cradle package contains the following items: BC9xx0 Base Station (with Desktop Mounting 1 Metal Mounting plate Bracket installed)
Page 20: Permanent Mounting
Setup To change the Bracket: 1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for re- use. 2. Carefully lift off the Bracket. 3. Install the other bracket by first slipping the end tab into place on the base station, then easing the tabs (shown in Figure 1 on page 9) into...
Page 21: Mounting For Portable Use
Mounting the BC9xx0 Cradle Mounting for Portable Use If portability of the cradle is required, the metal plate must be used. There are two ways this can be done: (1) by first mounting the metal plate on a flat surface so the cradle can be slid off and on, or (2) mounting the metal plate onto the back of the base station and then screwing both to the desired sur- face.
Page 22: System Connections
Setup Attaching the Metal Plate to Base Alternatively, the mount can be attached first to the base, then both can be mounted to a wall as described above. Figure 5. Attaching Mounting Plate to Base Base with Mount attached System Connections Connections should always be made with power off!

Page 23: Connecting And Disconnecting The Interface Cable
Mounting the BC9xx0 Cradle Connecting and Disconnecting the Interface Cable The BC9xx0 can be connected to a Host by means of a multi-interface cable, which must be simply plugged into the Host connector, visible on the front panel of the cradle. To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the hole corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle.
Page 24: Bc9Xx0 Configuration
Setup BC9xx0 Configuration The BC9xx0 configuration can be performed in three ways: by using the ™ Datalogic Aladdin software configuration program, by sending configura- tion strings from the Host PC via the RS-232 or USB-COM interface or by ™ reading configuration bar codes with the PowerScan 9501-AR reader.

Page 293 RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label trans- mission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
Page 294 References Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
Page 295 RS-232 Parameters Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.

References Wireless Features Automatic Configuration Update When this feature is enabled, the base station and reader will keep their configurations synchronized. If a reader's configuration is altered by reading programming labels, this change is automatically transferred and updated in a linked base station. Likewise, if the base station's configuration is changed using Aladdin or by host commands, then the reader's configuration will automatically be updated if this feature is enabled.
Page 315 Wireless Features STAR Radio Protocol Timeout This parameter sets the valid wait time before transmission between the handheld reader and Base Station is considered failed. When setting this parameter, take into consideration the radio traffic (num- ber of readers in the same area). The selectable range for this feature is from 02 to 25 seconds.
