System Conditions

The components of the Cordless System interact in specific ways as you associate one
or more scanners to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in
range, replace a scanner battery pack, or swap scanners between two Cordless Systems.
This information explains the Cordless System operating conditions.

Association Process

After you scan the Association Bar Code, the base synchronizes radio parameters and
the work group parameter table in the scanner. The work group table is uploaded during
the clicking sequence. Two beeps, clicking, then a single beep indicates the process is
complete. The base blinks while it is sending the table to the scanner. Until the table is
uploaded, scanning and data transmission are interrupted. If the base is off or not
working properly, the scanner emits an error (triple) beep after trying for 30 seconds to
associate to the base.
The work group table is also uploaded any time the base believes a previously
associated scanner wishes to join the network. A scanner always tries to join the last
base it was associated to, even if the scanner has been without power for several days.
The base allows a scanner to associate as long as there are fewer than nine scanners
actively associated to the base.
