Linking Scanner to Base
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are
not linked. Once the scanner is placed into the base, the software automatically
links the scanner and the base. If the scanner and base have previously been
linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner
and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. At
this point, you are set to one scanner to one base.
1. Provide power to the base.
2. Place the 3820 into the base. The scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a
single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has
successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base.
Scanner Modes
The 3820 is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner mode,
or with Blutetooth devices, other than the 2020-5B base.
Unlinking the Scanner
If the base has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new
scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer
communicate with the base. To unlink a scanner from the base, scan the Unlink
Scanner bar code below.
