CORDLESS SYSTEM OPERATION
How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works
A CCB01-010BT/CCB01-010BT-BF or a CCB-H-010BT/CCB-H-010BT-BF cord-
less charge base or an Access Point provides the link between the cordless scanner
and the host system. The base/Access Point contains an interface assembly and an
RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the data
exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface assembly. The control
assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/
receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activ-
ities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and
data translation required for the host system.
The cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery or charge pack charger. Refer
to Battery Recommendations, page 47, for additional information.
Link the Scanner to a Charge Base
Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put the scan-
ner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes to indicate
the scanner is charging.
If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feed-
back. 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, that one scanner is linked to one
base.
To determine if your scanner has linked to the base correctly, scan one of the sam-
ple bar codes beginning on page 307. 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 an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the
base. Refer to page 293 for troubleshooting information.
