Radio Communications 4-5
Wireless Beeper Definitions
When the 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
2-3.).
Table 4-2. Wireless Beeper Definitions
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 4-19, the cradle may already be connected to another
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 scanner that is inserted is already connected to the cradle, no
beeping occurs.
