To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample
bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read
beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base.
If using a Granit scanner, the scanner also vibrates. If you receive an error tone

Access Point to establish a connection between
the Access Point and the scanner. The scanner
emits a short beep and flashes the green LED
to confirm a connection with the Access Point.
The Access Point’s Page button remains blue.

receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way
communication between the scanner and the base or Access Point.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base or
Access Point. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK)
from the base or Access Point. If it cannot be determined that the data has
