2. Connect the appropriate interface
cable into the Base.
3. Place the scanner in the Base.

Linking the Scanner to a Base Station
For the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link
the handheld scanner with the base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to
wake it and place it on the base. If the scanner was previously linked to another base, you
must first scan the Unlink action command before re-linking to the new base.
Important: The mandatory condition for est
ablishing a new linking between a BT handheld
and a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the same security
configuration. A successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the scanner. A
high-low-high-low tone indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED
flash after this tone indicates no Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after
this tone indicates that more than one Base Station was discovered and the scanner did not
link. Three LED flashes after this tone indicate a security error.
If you want to change security settings or set up a PIN, see "BT Security
Mode" starting on page 203
