Setting Up the Cordless System

Important: Before you set up the Cordless System, make sure the scanner's battery
pack has been fully charged. See "Charging the Battery Pack" earlier in this chapter for
charging instructions.
To set up the Cordless System
1. Turn off the power to the host system.
2. Connect the interface cable to the base and to the terminal/computer.

Note: For optimal coverage, place the base and its antenna as far away from other
sources of RF interference, with a clear transmitting path to the scanner(s).
Applications may run faster in RS-232 due to data rate restriction on some wedges.
Extension cables from the base to the host may be added to either wedge
applications (up to 15 feet) or RS-232 applications (up to 50 feet).
The base can be mounted on a wall or a ceiling. Try to place the base so that the
antenna is in a vertical (straight up and down) position whenever possible. An extra
Association Bar Code is provided in case the base is mounted where the label might
be difficult to scan.
