Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are
inadvertently placed into the base. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will charge the scanner, but the
scanner will not be linked.
To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See
Scanner Modes, page 4-6.)
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not linked to a base. A link is established when the
scanner is placed into a base. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a new scanner is placed in
the base. Each time a scanner is placed into a base, the scanner becomes the linked to the base and the old scanner
is unlinked.
Unlinking the Scanner
If a base has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scan-
ner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink the scanner from a base, scan the following Unlink Scan-
ner bar code.
Override Locked Scanner
If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base, scan the following Override Locked Scanner bar code
with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden, the broken or lost scanner’s link with
the base will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
Out-of-Range Alarm
If your scanner is out of range of the base, an alarm sounds from the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved
closer to the base or when the alarm duration expires.
Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error tone even if you do not have the alarm set.
You receive the error tone since the data could not be communicated to the base or the host.
Alarm Sound Type
You may change the alarm type for the scanner by scanning the appropriate bar code below and then scanning a digit (0-1)
bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 0.
