Flexible Power Management
If you are experiencing network performance issues, and suspect the scanner is 
interfering with other devices, you can turn down the power output of the scan-
ner.  This reduces the range between the scanner and a base or an Access 
Point as shown in the following illustration:
Scan one of the bar codes below to set the scanner’s power output to Full 
Power (100%) [2.5mW, 4dBm], Medium Power (35%) [.875mW, 0dBm], 
Medium Low Power (5%) [.125mW, -9dBm], or Low Power (1%, .025mW, 
-16dBm).   
Default = Full Power.
For the new power setting to take effect, the scanner and the base or Access 
Point must be reset.  See Reset Scanner and Base/Access Point (page 3-
18).
