NTRODUCTION Labels Each scanner has a label located on the underside of the head. This label provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The charger, the Bluetooth USB Adapter and the battery also have labels with important safety and compliance information. The following figure provides examples of these labels and their locations.
ETTING TARTED Battery Tips and Cautions Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation the battery pack must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. After the initial preparation charge of 8 hrs, the battery will only require 6 hrs to come to a full charge when it gives a Low Battery warning (see page 7).
ETTING TARTED Charging the Battery Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation for the first time, the battery must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. After the initial preparation charge of 8 hrs, the battery will only require 6 hrs to come to a full charge when it gives a Low Battery warning (see page 7).
ETTING TARTED Battery Installation MS1633 FocusBT is a battery powered scanner. Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation for the first time, the battery must be charged for a minimum of 8 hours. To install the battery: Align the tabs of the charged battery pack with the slots on the scanner’s handle Then, slide the battery pack up toward the top of the scanner.

RIVER NSTALLATION FocusBT Connection Configuration The final screen of the New Connection Wizard should indicate the virtual Bluetooth Com port that was setup. This will usually be a high number, as seen in the screen shot below. Remember this COM number for application setup.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION Bluetooth communication must be established between the FocusBT and the host device before the FocusBT can be used for normal operation. In a Bluetooth network, the FocusBT can operate as a server (service-provide mode), or as a client. When FocusBT Acts as a Server to Other Bluetooth Devices FocusBT’s default is to act as a server to other Bluetooth devices.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When FocusBT Acts as a Client to Other Bluetooth Devices In the client device mode of operation, the FocusBT initiates the Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth address of the remote device is required to establish a connection. The remote device must also be configured to accept incoming connections and must support the Bluetooth Serial Port (SPP) profile.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When FocusBT is Used with an MS9535 Cradle FocusBT can be configured to communicate with an MS9535 cradle but it will require the FocusBT to be configured to use a special communication protocol used by the MS9535 cradle. Scan the Enable MS9535 Cradle Protocol bar code below to enable the special communication protocol.
STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION Inventory Mode In Inventory mode, there is a quantity field associated with each barcode. Similar to RangeGate mode, the data is stored in the scanner’s non-volatile memory. However, in inventory mode, the data is always stored independent of whether the Bluetooth connection is active or not, and is not uploaded automatically until a special barcode is scanned.
TAND Hard Mounting the Stand (Optional Metrologic provides two #8 wood screws for securing the stand base to the counter top. The following figure provides the pilot hole dimensions for securing the stand base. Figure 27. Stand Base Hole Pattern (Not to Scale)
CANNER PERATION Two Default Modes of Operation Multi-Trigger Mode, Out of Stand The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination. Aim the scanner’s line of light over the bar code. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning. The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code.
CANNER PERATION Audible Indicators When the FocusBT 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, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s MLPN...
CANNER PERATION Audible Indicators Low to High Beep This tone Indicates the Bluetooth connection has been made. High to Low Beep This tone indicates the Bluetooth connection is disconnected. A Double Razz Tone When the Bluetooth communication link is not active, the scanner will emit a double razz tone and the Blue LED will start to flash.
CANNER PERATION Visual Indicators Steady White When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted. After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device.
