Offline Mode

If you are heading for a working area which lies outside the Bluetooth signal range, you may activate the offline mode of the scanner, following the steps described below. Under this enhanced offline mode, all scanned data will be stored directly into the buffer memory of the device. Furthermore, the data entries will be permanently saved in the buffer memory prior to the manual upload into the working station, so that you may upload them time and again to your liking.
Due to the fact that the data entries will be automatically wiped from the buffer memory during upload, a data loss is possible when malfunctions occur during upload, e.g. if the working station suffers a unanticipated system shut down.
An operation in offline mode is strongly recommended under the following scenarios:

1. During the scanning process, the device often leaves the Bluetooth signal range;
2. Due to a high quantity of blocking objects, the Bluetooth signal's stability can't be ensured.
