Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the ‘pinhole’. There will be a faint ‘click’ when the cable lock is released. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the Figure 1b.
Figure 2. Caution To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1. To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
Connect AC power to the transformer. Turn on the host device. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
Turn on the host device. Figure 5. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
Connect AC power to the transformer. Turn on the host device. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED. Powering the IS3480 directly from the host device can sometimes cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.

IS3480-104 Only The IS3480-104 leaves the factory with the Laser Emulation Mode enabled. If the Recall Defaults bar code is scanned while reconfiguring the scanner, the laser emulation mode will no longer be enabled. Scan the following bar code to re-enable the laser emulation interface.
Configurable Button Functions below. The scanner returns to the primary scan pattern mode after a double click of the button or if the unit has not scanned a bar code for the duration of a pre-configured time limit.

PERATION Sweet Spot Mode The sweet spot mode is used to determine where the maximum read rate area or “sweet spot” is located for a specific bar code type. When activated this mode provides visual and audible feedback indicating how the scanner is scanning.
When the IS3480 is in operation, it can provide audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). For instruction on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).
CANNER PERATION Visual Indicators There are four LEDs located on the top of the IS3480. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

Any movement detected by the IR in the activation area will cause the scanner to exit power save mode. The laser will automatically turn back on preparing the scanner for bar code recognition, decoding and transmission.
