CORDLESS SYSTEM OPERATION
This chapter is supported by 1962x Series scanners.
How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works
A charge and communication base or an Access Point provides the link between
the cordless scanner and the host system. The base/Access Point contains an
interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication
module performs the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the
interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface
activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host
system, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator
support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.
The cordless base is also a scanner’s battery or battery-free supercapacitor
charger. Refer to Battery Recommendations, page 41, for additional information.
Link the Scanner to a Base
Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put the
scanner in the base to establish a link.
If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any
feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices
emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, that one scanner is linked to
one base.
To determine if your scanner has linked to the base correctly, scan one of the
sample barcodes beginning on page 307. If the scanner provides a single good
read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the
base. If you receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked
to the base. Refer to page 293 for troubleshooting information.
