stand location), a period of 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient

cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading
only one or two labels (see the note that follows). The scanner indicates when each label
has been successfully read by flashing the green scanner light and emitting a good read

When not connected to the host, the scanner may be limited to reading only one
or two labels. (This limitation is dependent upon the interface type.) To scan mul-

scanner. Successful deactivation is indicated by the bottom-most LED flashing first red,
then orange, then returning to green. The beeper will sound a good read beep.
If you have enabled the manual deactivation function available for Coupled Mode (see
"Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button" on page -48), test the function by pressing the
bottom push button. A ticking sound will be heard which should cease upon deactivating
an EAS tag.
Decoupled Mode — In this mode, items do not require a bar code to be scanned to arm
the deactivation function. Simply pass an active EAS tag over the scanner in the same
direction you would scan a bar code. The bottom-most LED will flash red to indicate
deactivation. No beep is sounded to indicate deactivation in this mode.
