7.1 Link Balluff RF Devices to Base
For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link 
the handheld with the base.
To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake up the 
handheld and mount it into the base. If the reader was previously linked 
to another base, you must first press and hold the button on the base 
(>5 seconds), then scan the 
Unlink
 barcode before re-linking to the new 
base.
7.2 Linking to a Bluetooth Adapter in Serial Port Profile (Slave) 
Mode
1 Install any drivers provided with the Bluetooth adapter.
2 Scan the 
Enable RF Link to Server

visible to the host computer.

devices” and select "Balluff Scanner." If you receive an error 
message, it may be necessary to disable security on the device.
4 Use an RS-232 terminal program to see incoming data on the 
port designated by the computer's Bluetooth manager.
