5. Position the antenna vertically (pointing toward the ceiling).

Pairing the Scanner with the Cradle

The wireless "connection" between the scanner and the cradle is the low power radio
transmission through RF transceivers in the both the scanner and cradle. The actual
communication consists of bidirectional message packets. However, the scanner and cradle
must be paired for this communication to work between the two devices.
Note: After a new host is installed at the cradle, re-scan the pairing bar code.
This allows the cradle to notify the scanner of the change in the host
device.
To pair the scanner with the cradle:
1. Scan the pairing bar code on the top of the cradle.
2. Insert the scanner into the cradle (recommended but not required). Note that you
cannot scan data until this pairing is complete.
3. Information is exchanged (addressing, RF channels, etc.) between the scanner and
the cradle. This occurs in a few seconds if the scanner is in the cradle or up to a
minute if not in the cradle.
4. After the exchange is complete, the scanner and cradle are paired. Successful pairing
is indicated by a warble beep; failure, or unsuccessful link, is indicated by a Lo Hi
beep.
