Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
deactivation status. (For more information about Beeper and LED indications, see the LED/
Beeper Indications & Controls section of this manual. Also ref
erence the programming section
for their configurable featur
es.) 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 deactivation 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/
disabled via the bar codes located in the programming section of this manual.
The item will be deactivated and a message to store managem
ent that this has occurred will be
sent.
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 Deactivation Push Button to manually deactivate
the EAS tag.
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 seconds. 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).
Operational Controls
The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper
Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details.
Operational Modes
The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are important to both the user
and the system support personnel. These modes can be combined into three groups: pre-
operational, operational, and additional functions. The following text describes these modes,
what they mean, and how and when they are seen.
Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation
Pre-Operation describes those steps that must be successfully completed before the scanner
sounds the initial good read tone and illuminates the lamps indicating the scanner and/or scale
are ready for operation. These steps include Power-Up Selftest, Error Reporting, and
Operational Configuration.
