Wireless Beeper Definitions
When the digital scanner scans the pairing bar code it issues various beep sequences indicating successful or 
unsuccessful operations. Table 4-2 defines beep sequences that occur during pairing operations. (For additional 
beeper definitions, see Beeper Definitions on page 2-1.).

Beeper Sequence Indication
Four long low beeps 1. A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. 
This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.
2. When communicating with a cradle, the cradle acknowledges receipt of data. If 
the acknowledgment is not received, this transmission error beep sequence 
sounds. Data may still have been received by the host. Check the host system for 
receipt of transmitted data. If data was not received by the host, re-scan the bar 
code.
Five high beeps Emitted every 5 seconds while a reconnection attempt is in progress. (See 
Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-14
.)
High/low/high/low beeps Pairing bar code scanned.
Low/high beeps Bluetooth connection established.
High/low beeps Bluetooth disconnection event.
Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep 
sequence sounds immediately after a bar code is scanned, check the host device 
for receipt of transmitted data. It is possible that an attempt was made to transmit 
the last bar code scanned after the connection was lost.
Long low/long high beeps Page timeout; remote device is out of range/not powered. (See 
Auto-reconnect 
Feature on page 4-14
.)
Long low/long high/long low/ 
long high beeps
Connection attempt was rejected by remote device.
Note: In the case of 
Pairing Methods on page 4-21
, the cradle may already be 
connected to another digital scanner in single Point-to-Point locked mode, or the 
piconet may be full in Multipoint-to-Point mode. If Pair On Contacts is enabled and 
the digital scanner that is inserted is already connected to the cradle, no beeping 
occurs.
