NTRODUCTION Caution and Serial Number Labels The scanner and cradle have labels that provide important information including; the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, safety and regulatory information. Figure 3 provides examples of these labels and their locations. Figure 3. Label Sample and Location 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.
RADLE NSTALLATION TO THE EVICE RS232 and Light Pen Turn off the host device. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the 10-pin modular jack on the bottom of the cradle. Connect the 9-pin D-type Female connector of the RS232 cable to the proper COM port of the host device.
RADLE NSTALLATION TO THE EVICE Keyboard Wedge Turn off the host device. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the 10-pin modular jack on the bottom of the cradle. Disconnect the keyboard from host. Connect the “Y” ends of the communication cable to the keyboard and keyboard port on the host device.

RADLE NSTALLATION TO THE EVICE Full Speed USB (Powered by the Host Device) Turn off the host device. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the 10-pin modular jack on the bottom of the charger cradle. Connect the female DC power jack of the USB cable to the center power jack on the bottom of the charger cradle.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION Between the Scanner and the Cradle Bluetooth communication between the scanner and cradle must be established before the VoyagerBT can be used for normal operation. Dynamic Pair Function Dynamic Pair Function refers to when a scanner has been paired or linked to a specific cradle by scanning that cradle’s unique Bluetooth address code.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When the MS9535 Acts as a Client to Other Bluetooth Devices The MS9535 scanner can also link to other Bluetooth compatible devices such as a desktop computer, laptop computer, or printer. As a default, the MS9535 will act as the client to another Bluetooth device. The devices’ Bluetooth address must be scanned to establish a communication link between it and the MS9535 before they will work properly as a complete system.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When the MS9535 Acts as a Server to Other Bluetooth Devices Scan the Provide Service bar code below to enable the MS9535 to act as a server and be detected by another Bluetooth device. This will allow other Bluetooth devices to send inquiries to the scanner and attempt communication.
MI9535-5 ECEIVER HARGER RADLE Charging Guidelines and Low Battery Indicators The scanner should be fully charged prior to being placed into service. Metrologic recommends that Bluetooth communication between the scanner and the cradle be established first before charging. To charge the scanner, place the unit into the cradle. The amber LED on the scanner will begin to flash indicating the charging process has begun.
MI9535-5 ECEIVER HARGER RADLE Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries • Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries. • Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations. • Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects. •...
MI9535-5 ECEIVER HARGER RADLE Communication Protocols The MI9535-5 cradle works as a receiver and a charger for the MS9535. Receiver Once Bluetooth communication has been established between the scanner and cradle, the cradle will act as a receiver for the barcode data transmitted from the scanner.
CANNER PERATION Modes of Operation Auto-Trigger Mode Auto Trigger, In-Stand Auto-triggers while in the stand Bar code is automatically decoded and transmitted CodeGate Mode CodeGate, Out-of-Stand CodeGate activates when removed from the stand Bar code data is transmitted when the button is pressed RangeGate The operation range of Bluetooth communication is 10 meters between the scanner and receiver/cradle.
CANNER PERATION Indicators Audible When the scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beeper (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tones, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide ( 00-02544x) or MLPN...
CANNER PERATION Indicators Visual The MS9535 has three LED indicators (blue, white and amber) located on the head of the scanner. When the scanner is in operation, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan. Blue, White &...
Page 28
CANNER PERATION Indicators Visual Alternating Flashing of Blue and White This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. Two razzberry tones indicate that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode. If the scanner is in RangeGate active mode, this indicates the SRAM of the scanner becomes full.
CANNER PERATION Indicators Failure Modes Flashing Blue and one Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser sub-system failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center. Flashing Blue and White with Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a scanning mechanism failure.
