a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system 
highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to 
noisy RF environments.  Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides range of 33 feet 
(10m) depending on the environment.
Cordless Scanner
The cordless scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a non-
contact linear imager. 
The scanner is comprised of a linear imager, a decode/control assembly, and an 
RF communication module.  The scan engine performs the bar code image 
illumination and sensing.  The decode/control assembly coordinates the central 
communication activities including: capturing and decoding the bar code image 
data, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator 
support, low battery indication), and data translation required for the host system.  
The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the 
scanner and the base.
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you 
associate a scanner to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a 
scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems.  The 
following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Linking Process
Once a scanner is placed into the base, the scanner’s battery charge status is 
checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base 
if another scanner is not already linked.
Scanner is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not 
transmitting bar code data.  Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the 
base for a few seconds, it is out of range.  If the scanner is out of range and you 
scan a bar code, the scanner issues a triple beep and your scanner and base 
sounds an alarm if your scanner is programmed to emit an alarm.
Scanner is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner re-links if the scanner or the base have been reset or out of range.  
If the scanner re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process 
(uploading of the parameter table) is complete. 
Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host
The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” 
indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is 
scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data.  This is 
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between 
the scanner and the base.
