PM9501-AR Handheld
1. With the PM9501-AR, read a Compatible mode programming label on 
page 243 with a value of “Low, Medium, 
or High Speed”.
2. With the PM9501-AR, read the Unlink programing label.

If Aladdin is not available, use the following procedure:
1. With a PM9501-AR in normal mode, r
ead the Unlink programming label 
on page 20, then read the following
 bar code:
             
               
         
             
           
               
             
                 
             
                     
                   
                   
         
                           
Do not scan an ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE label with this bar
