Connecting The Base Station - Datalogic Gryphon I GM440 Series Product Reference Manual

Setup
Insertion of the Scanner in its Cradle
To be sure that proper charging of battery is in progress, verify that the Red
LED of the cradle is steady on when the scanner is placed into its powered
cradle. The Green LED of the base indicates that the battery is fully charged.
If there are other conditions of cradle's LEDs, verify that the scanner is prop-
erly placed in the cradle.
Given the long battery life and the great ergonomics of the GBT/GM44 scan-
ner, it's not needed to place the scanner in the cradle after each barcode
reading transaction. Depending on the intensity of use, the scanner may
only need to be placed in its cradle at the end of the working shift.

Connecting the Base Station

Figure 7 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other
host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for
that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable
before applying power to the Base Station.
The Gryphon GBT4400 can be set up to require a PIN code when connecting to the host. If you
are connecting to a system that uses a custom security PIN, follow the procedure in "Connect-
ing the Base when Security Pin is Enabled" on page 2-16. For information on how to configure
this feature, see
