Pairing The Scanner With The Cradle - Symbol P370 Keyless Reference Manual

P370/P470 Keyless RF Scanners Product Reference Guide

Pairing the Scanner with the Cradle

The scanner and cradle must be paired for communication to occur.
Note: If the cradle is attached to a new host, re-scan the pairing bar code.
To pair the scanner with the cradle:
1. Scan the pairing bar code on the top of the cradle.
To pair a long range scanner (P370 ALR) to a regular P370 cradle, attach the
"spare pairing bar code" label to the cradle. This 15 mil bar code, packaged with
the cradle, can be scanned by the P370 ALR at a distance of approximately two
feet from the cradle.
2. Once the base is detected, information is exchanged (addressing, RF channels,
etc.) between the scanner and the cradle.
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for the scanner to search for the base
during over-the-air pairing. To reduce the pairing time, place the
scanner in the cradle.
3. After the exchange is complete, the scanner and cradle are paired.
Successful pairing is indicated by a warble beep and the base's LED will flash.
If pairing is unsuccessful, the scanner emits four beeps - Lo Hi Lo Hi.
The pairing of a scanner to a cradle is one-to-one. Only one scanner can be paired
to a cradle at any point in time. If you pair a second scanner to an in use cradle, the
cradle's connection to the first scanner will be broken and the connection re-
established with the second scanner.
To pair a scanner to a different cradle, scan its pairing bar code located on the top of the
cradle.
If you cycle power to the base or reset (remove and reinstall the battery)
the scanner, you must pair the scanner with the cradle again.
