Quick Reference Guide 11
Selecting Beeper Volume
The scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. The volume of 
the beep is changed by scanning one of the beeper volume bar codes in the LS7708 
Product Reference Guide, or by using the Volume Control & Wakeup button on the front 
of the scanner as follows:
1.
Press and hold the button for approximately five seconds. The scanner cycles 
through three settings (low, medium, high), emitting a two-beep tone at each 
setting.
2. To select a particular setting, release the button after the desired 2-beep tone 
is heard.
Beeper Definitions
The scanner communicates with the user by emitting different beeper sequences and 
patterns. See the Standard Beeper Definitions table for beeper sequences that occur 
during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.
