Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base.
During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base. In order to pre-
vent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is
limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a
base. Pressing the scanner's button or placing the scanner in the base resets the attempt count and the scanner will again
try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-255) from the inside
back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until
the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see
Attempts has no effect..
