Connecting More Scanners to the Cordless System

Up to nine scanners may be associated with one base
To connect more scanners to the Cordless System
1. Make sure the scanner's battery pack has been fully charged.
2. Scan the Association Bar Code (the bar code label on the top of the base) to link
The base stores a unique ID for each scanner (up to nine) to identify the scanner during
data communication. Two beeps followed by clicking and a single beep from the
scanner indicates a "good" association. The base will reject a tenth scanner trying to
link to its network and it will send the scanner an error command. (A rejected scanner
beeps three times, indicating an unsuccessful association.)
Note: When you associate more scanners with the base, you don't have to program your
Cordless System to communicate with your terminal or computer if you've already
completed Step 5 in "Setting Up the Cordless System" earlier in this chapter.

About the LED Sequences and Beeper

The base has a green LED that indicates its status and verifies it is communicating with
the host system. The scanner has a beeper and two LEDs on the top of it (green and
yellow) that indicate its power up, communication, and battery pack status. The tables
below list the indication and meaning of the beeps and LEDs for the base and scanner.
