GRYPHON™ BT Quick Reference 1
DATALOGIC UK/US USING GRYPHON™ BT SERIES READERS Gryphon™ BT series readers, together with a Bluetooth® compatible remote device, build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. The Gryphon™ BT (Gryphon™ Bluetooth®) reader is a CCD wireless barcode scanner communicating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and using the Serial Port Profile (SPP).
GRYPHON™ BT UK/US CHARGING THE BATTERIES By placing the reader onto the C-GRYPHON battery charger it is possible to charge the Gryphon™ BT batteries. Make sure the charging LED goes on. The LEDs positioned on the cradle signal the charge status, as described in the following table: LED STATUS Red On = C-GRYPHON is powered. Blinking = C-GRYPHON receives commands from the Host. On = the battery charge is in progress. Green On = the battery is completely charged.
DATALOGIC UK/US Changing the Batteries When the above procedure is no longer effective, the batteries must be changed. To change the batteries of your reader, unscrew the battery cover screw, replace the old batteries with new ones, then insert the cover in the handle and screw it back into place. (See the following figures). + CAUTION Dispose of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force.
GRYPHON™ BT UK/US GRYPHON™ BT OPERATION RADIO CONNECTION Gryphon™ BT as Slave A Gryphon™ BT is Slave when it sends barcodes to a Master remote Bluetooth® device such as a PC, Laptop, PDA, etc, which has initialized the communication. Once set as Slave, a Gryphon™ BT reader requires no particular configuration for communication, however some radio parameters can be set to increase system performance and data transmission security, see the Gryphon™ BT Reference Manual on the configuration CD-ROM.
DATALOGIC UK/US Gryphon™ BT as Master A Gryphon™ BT is Master when the remote Bluetooth® device is Slave, i.e. with a Bluetooth® barcode printer. Once set as Master, a Gryphon™ BT reader must be configured to recognize the address of the Slave device to which it wants to communicate. By default, at startup the reader initializes the communication with the Slave. If the connection is successful, the reader can send barcodes to the Slave device.

DATALOGIC UK/US TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM A beep or a LED blink signals an interruption of the radio communication with the remote Bluetooth® device. SOLUTION • It is possible that the distance from the remote Bluetooth® device is more than 10 m or that an obstacle interrupted the communication. • Restart the radio communication. PROBLEM The reader is Master and is not able to initialize radio communication with the remote Bluetooth® device server.
GRYPHON™ BT UK/US PROBLEM The remote Bluetooth® device discovers a Gryphon™ BT within its range of radio communication but is not able to communicate with it. SOLUTION • Make sure that: - the remote Bluetooth® device has not any communication protection (i.e. a password); - the protocol version is compatible with Gryphon™ BT's. PROBLEM It seems that the Gryphon™ BT radio communication range is less than 10 m. SOLUTION • Check that there are no obstacles to radio transmission between the devices.
