In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) mode, select a re-connect option for when the digital scanner
loses its connection with a remote device:
•
Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The digital scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code.
With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The digital scanner sounds a
decode beep upon bar code scan, followed by a connection, a page timeout, a rejection beep, or a
transmission error beep. Select this option to optimize battery life on the digital scanner and mobile
device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.
•
Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the digital scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a
page timeout occurs, the digital scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this option if the
digital scanner's battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code
is transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.
•
Disable Auto-reconnect: When the digital scanner loses connection, you must re-establish it manually.

the reconnection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time,

range indicator.
