ESTABLISHING BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION Between the Scanner and the Cradle Bluetooth communication between the scanner and cradle must be established before the VoyagerBT can be used for normal operation. Dynamic Pair Function Dynamic Pair Function refers to when a scanner has been paired or linked to a specific cradle by scanning that cradle’s unique Bluetooth address code. The unique address code is located directly on the body of the cradle, see figure below.
ESTABLISHING BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION When the MS9535 Acts as a Client to Other Bluetooth Devices The MS9535 scanner can also link to other Bluetooth compatible devices such as a desktop computer, laptop computer, or printer. As a default, the MS9535 will act as the client to another Bluetooth device. The devices’ Bluetooth address must be scanned to establish a communication link between it and the MS9535 before they will work properly as a complete system.
ESTABLISHING BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION When the MS9535 Acts as a Server to Other Bluetooth Devices Scan the Provide Service bar code below to enable the MS9535 to act as a server and be detected by another Bluetooth device. This will allow other Bluetooth devices to send inquiries to the scanner and attempt communication. Use this bar code to establish communication directly with a Bluetooth enabled device, bypassing the cradle.
THE MI9535-5XX RECEIVER / CHARGER CRADLE Charging Guidelines and Low Battery Indicators The scanner should be fully charged prior to being placed into service. Metrologic recommends that Bluetooth communication between the scanner and the cradle be established first before charging. To charge the scanner, place the unit into the cradle. The amber LED on the scanner will begin to flash indicating the charging process has begun. For first time installations, leave the scanner in the cradle for a full 3 hours.
THE MI9535-5XX RECEIVER / CHARGER CRADLE Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries • Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries. • Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations. • Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects. • Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet. • Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries, to each other with any metal object.
THE MI9535-5XX RECEIVER / CHARGER CRADLE Communication Protocols The MI9535-5xx cradle works as a receiver and a charger for the MS9535. Receiver Once Bluetooth communication has been established between the scanner and cradle, the cradle will act as a receiver for the barcode data transmitted from the scanner. The cradle then transmitts the data to the host. Metrologic provides several versions of the cradle to meet a variety of host interfaces.
SCANNER OPERATION Modes of Operation Auto-Trigger Mode z Auto Trigger, In-Stand z Auto-triggers while in the stand z Bar code is automatically decoded and transmitted CodeGate Mode z CodeGate, Out-of-Stand z CodeGate activates when removed from the stand z Bar code data is transmitted when the button is pressed RangeGate The operation range of Bluetooth communication is 10 meters between the scanner and receiver/cradle.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Audible When the scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beeper (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tones, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544x) or MetroSet2’s help files. One Beep The scanner will beep once after communication has been established and the unit is properly placed into the cradle.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Visual The MS9535 has three LED indicators (blue, white and amber) located on the head of the scanner. When the scanner is in operation, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan. Blue, White & Amber LEDs are off The scanner is not receiving power from the cradle or the scanner’s internal battery. The scanner is in full sleep mode. Press the CodeGate button to wake the scanner from full sleep mode.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Visual Alternating Flashing of Blue and White This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. Two razzberry tones indicate that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode. If the scanner is in RangeGate active mode, this indicates the SRAM of the scanner becomes full. If the scanner needs to have a Flash ROM upgrade, the alternating flashing of the blue and white LEDs will occur during startup and is accompanied by three beeps.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Failure Modes Flashing Blue and one Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser sub-system failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center. Flashing Blue and White with Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a scanning mechanism failure.
