Audible Indicators - Honeywell MS4980 Installation And User Manual

Audible Indicators

When the MS4980 is in operation, it provides 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). To change the tone, refer to the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, PN 00-02544, or MetroSet2's help
files.
One Beep
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code the unit will beep once and the
white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted successfully. The
blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other objects are presented in
the active scan area.
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar
code has not been successfully read.
Short Razzberry Tone
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 17).
Long Razzberry Tone
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 17).
Three Beeps – At Power Up
When the MS4980 first receives power, it will start an initialization sequence.
The white and blue LEDs will alternately fade on and off for approximately three
seconds. When the scanner has finished initializing the white LED will flash
three times while simultaneously beeping three times to indicate the scanner is
ready for use.
Three Beeps – Configuration Mode
When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner
simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to
flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep
three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.
When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout
during normal scanning mode.
When using single-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times: a normal
tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone. This indicates
that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.
