INTRODUCTION MS9535 VoyagerBT™ laser bar code scanner is a new member of Metrologic’s Voyager series. Besides featuring the patented technologies of automatic trigger and CodeGate, the VoyagerBT has incorporated the latest Bluetooth™ wireless technology. This technology gives the customer the freedom of mobility, with scanning up to 10 meters from the cradle. VoyagerBT works hand in hand with its cradle.

ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCANNER AND CRADLE Before the normal scanning starts, Bluetooth communication between the scanner and cradle must be established. The communication between the scanner and cradle can be established by scanning the Bluetooth address code located on the cradle. The pairing process takes a few seconds and can be confirmed by a solid blue LED on the cradle and a solid blue LED on the scanner, when the laser is activated.
CHARGING THE SCANNER Prior to performing any operation with the scanner, make sure it has been charged. The following explains how to determine if the scanner needs recharging: 1. During operation, the scanner gives two beeps after a successful scan. This indicates the scanner has low power. 2. When a bar code is presented to the scanner and a scan line is not activated, or the CodeGate button is pressed and the laser comes on for brief moment.
CHARGING THE SCANNER (CONTINUED) 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.
RECEIVER / CHARGER CRADLE The cradle of MS9535 works both as a receiver and a charger. As a receiver, after establishing Bluetooth communication with the scanner, the cradle receives date being scanned by the scanner and transmits it to the host. To communicate with different host interfaces, the cradle is offered in various configurations.
CRADLE PARTS The main parts of the cradle includes: a. Blue LED d. Charge Contactor b. Wall Mount Hook c. Page Button a) Blue LED The blue LED indicates the “connecting” status of the cradle with the scanner. When the Bluetooth connection breaks, the blue LED will flash. A single flash of the blue LED indicates data has been received from the scanner. b) Wall Mount Hook In applications where wall mount becomes necessary for the cradle, the hook will secure the scanner into place.

AUDIBLE INDICATORS 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 Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02544B) or MetroSet2’s help files. One Beep After establishing communication, when the scanner is put into cradle correctly, the scanner will beep once.
VISUAL INDICATORS 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 current scan and the scanner. Blue, White & Amber LEDs are off The scanner receives is not receiving power from the cradle or the inside battery. The scanner is in full sleep mode. Pressing the CodeGate button will wake-up the scanner, and the blue LED will flash.
VISUAL INDICATORS (CONTINUED) Alternating Flashing of Blue and White This indicates the scanner is in program 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.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Blue and one Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem 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. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center.
PROGRAMMING MODES The MS9535 VoyagerBT has 2 modes of programming. Bar Codes VoyagerBT can be configured by scanning the bar codes in the MetroSelect Single-Line Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02544B) and Bluetooth Programming Addendum (00-02024A). Please refer to these guides for instructions. The MetroSelect Single-Line Programming Guide can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com).
UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE The MetroSet 2 program also allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of software. It requires the use of a personal computer running under Windows 95 or greater and the use of a communication port. The user merely connects the scanner to a communications port of the PC, launches the MetroSet 2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.
LABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit. This label has the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of this label: EVITER TOUTE EXPOSITION-Lumiere laser emis par cette overture AVOID EXPOSURE –Laser light is emitted from this aperture Patent Information-See Manual FCC and ICES-003 Information-See Manual Warranty VOID if case opened.

CONNECTING TO OTHER BLUETOOTH DEVICES Other than the cradle, the MS9535 VoyagerBT scanner can also link to other Bluetooth compatible devices, such as a computer, printer or laptop. A Bluetooth communication between the scanner and the other device must be established before the system works. When MS9535 acts as Client: The MS9535 is defaulted to act as client when connected to other Bluetooth devices. Communication is established by scanning the Bluetooth address code of the other device.
CONNECTING WITH OTHER BLUETOOTH DEVICE (CONTINUED) When MS9535 acts as Server: To enable the MS9535 to act as a server and to be discovered by another Bluetooth device, scan the below Provide Service code. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-Metro or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution No power is being supplied from cradle to scanner Check transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the cradle properly. Internal battery not supplying power to scanner Place the scanner into cradle to recharge the battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) Symptoms Possible Causes Solution Unit scans, Communicates and beeps twice Same symbol timeout set too short Adjust same symbol timeout for a longer time.
