Linked Modes
Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode are the link modes that accommo-
date different applications. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from
one mode to another.

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed
into the base. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will
charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.
To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by
scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See Scanner Modes, page 3-
10.)
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not
linked to a base. A link is established when the scanner is placed into
a base. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a
new scanner is placed in the base. Each time a scanner is placed into
a base, the scanner becomes the linked to the base and the old scan-
ner is unlinked.
Unlinking the Scanner
If a base has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new
scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer
communicate with the base. To unlink the scanner from a base, scan the follow-
ing Unlink Scanner bar code.
