Linking the Reader to a Base Station
RF Devices
For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the
base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake it and place it on the base. If
the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink action
command before re-linking to the new base.
Unlnk
Unlnk
BT Models only
Remember: The mandatory condition for establishing a new linking between a BT handheld
and a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the same security configuration. A
successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low tone
indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash after this tone indicates no
Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after this tone indicates that more than one
Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes after this tone
indicate a security error.
