52 Magellan™ 9300i / 9400i Scanners
EAS Deactivation Indicators
The scanner can be programmed to beep in acknowledgment of deactivation or
upon deactivation failure. Additionally, the tri-color indicator (the bottom-most
LED) displays deactivation status. (For more information about Beeper and LED
indications, see the
LED/Audio Indications & Controls section of this manual.
Also reference the programming section for their configurable features.) By
general default, LED indications are:
• Green means the system is ready (standing by).
• Red signifies the system has detected an EAS tag.
•Orange indicates an EAS tag is being deactivated.
Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button
The bottom-most push button is reserved for use in rare instances where EAS
tagged items are not automatically deactivated when brought through the scan
zone. This button is not intended for regular use. In instances where deactiva
-
tion is not automatically triggered, hold the EAS tag directly downstream from
the horizontal window, and press and release the Manual EAS Deactivation Push
Button. This manual deactivation feature is optional, and can be enabled/dis
-
abled via the bar codes located in the programming section of this manual.
The item will be deactivated and a message to store management that this has
occurred will be sent.
Deactivating the EAS System when failed
In cases of EAS system failure or malfunction, a scanner can be enabled to
operate independent of the EAS deactivation function. This is accomplished by
pressing and holding the EAS Manual Deactivation Push Button for three sec

onds. The scanner will sound three high-pitched beeps upon bypassing the EAS
function in this manner. When in this state, the scanner’s EAS LED will flash
slowly red, as well as the FRU Status LED, which will slowly flash error nine (9).
NOTE
In a case where an item’s bar code is damaged or obscured by
an EAS tag or other obstruction, the operator will need to key
enter the bar code number and use the Manual EAS Deactiva
-
tion Push Button to manually deactivate the EAS tag.
