Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.
If there are no trigger pulls during the “scanner power time-out timer” interval, the
scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the
“scanner power time-out timer” is reset. If the scanner is placed in the 2020-5B
cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the scanner will not go
into power down mode.
Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power the
unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps and a delay of up to
a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner will then be ready to use.
Automatic Trigger
The scanner scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on.
Presentation Mode
The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the scanner. Then the LEDs
turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to
detect the bar codes. If the light level in the room is not high enough,
Presentation Mode will not work properly.
