Page 20: Establishing Communication Via Bluetooth Technology
STABLISHING OMMUNICATION VIA LUETOOTH ECHNOLOGY Communication via Bluetooth wireless technology must be established between the FocusBT and the host device before the FocusBT can be used for normal operation. In a network with Bluetooth technology, the FocusBT can operate as a server (service-provide mode), or as a client.
Page 21: When Focusbt Acts As A Client To Other Devices
STABLISHING OMMUNICATION VIA LUETOOTH ECHNOLOGY When FocusBT Acts as a Client to Other Devices with Bluetooth Technology In the client device mode of operation, the FocusBT initiates the connection via Bluetooth wireless technology. The Bluetooth address of the remote device is required to establish a connection.
Page 22: When Focusbt Is Used With An Ms9535 Cradle
STABLISHING OMMUNICATION VIA LUETOOTH ECHNOLOGY 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.
Page 23: Inventory Mode
STABLISHING OMMUNICATION VIA LUETOOTH ECHNOLOGY Inventory Mode In Inventory mode, there is a quantity field associated with each bar code. 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 connection for Bluetooth technology is active or not, and is not uploaded automatically until a special bar code is scanned.

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.
Page 28: Audible Indicators
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, six alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide ( 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s MLPN...
