Using the Status Lights

backup battery power, network communications, special keys, and bar
code scanning. The status lights only flash or turn on to indicate the current
status. The Power status light is amber and all other lights are green.

scan a bar code label with an input device that is connected to the
terminal. The status light turns off after two seconds.
User Defined This status light is user defined. You can
program this status light to turn on and off for any task or error
within your application.
Network Connect This status light tells you if the 2461 is
connected to your Ethernet network. The Network Connect

Modifier This status light indicates that one of the modifier
keys on the keyboard is active. The modifier key is stored in the
keyboard buffer until you press another key. When you press a
second key, the key combination is entered into the terminal and
the status light turns off. Examples of modifier keys include Ctrl,
Alt, and Shift.
Power This status light remains off when you have power to
the terminal, a charged backup battery, and the terminal is on.
The light blinks when the backup battery has a low power
charge or if you try to turn on the terminal with no external
power supply connected.

Understanding the Status Beeps

The 246X terminal has an internal speaker to emit beep sequences as you
use the terminal. You can change the volume of the beep to meet the needs
of your working environment by scanning bar code labels.
To raise or lower the volume, scan one of these bar codes repeatedly
Lower Beep Volume
*$+BV8*
*$+BV8*
Raise Beep Volume
*$+BV9*
*$+BV9*
Note: If the Beep Volume is turned off, you will not hear any status beeps
including the keyclick.
Use this table to understand the meaning of each beep sequence:
