4 - 14 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Night Mode (DS4308-HC Only)
The Night Mode feature allows the user to easily switch to a “quiet mode” in order to use the pager motor with
the beeper off.
Enter and exit Night Mode in one of two ways:
•
If Night Mode Trigger (DS4308-HC Only) is enabled, you can use the trigger to toggle between entering
and exiting Night Mode. To do this, point the digital scanner away from a bar code and pull the trigger
until the beam goes off. Continue to pull the trigger for an additional 5 seconds.
•
Scan the Night Mode Toggle (DS4308-HC Only) bar code to enter or exit Night Mode, regardless of the
state of the Night Mode Trigger (DS4308-HC Only) parameter.
Entering Night Mode makes the following changes to the digital scanner:
•
Decode Pager Motor (DS4308-HC and DS4308-XD) is enabled.
•
Beep on Decode is disabled.
Also note the following scanner behavior regarding night mode:
•
Exiting Night Mode returns the scanner to the previously programmed states for the three parameters
changed (for example, if Beep on Decode was enabled before entering Night Mode, it returns to enabled
upon exiting night mode).
•
When entering Night Mode, the pager motor vibrates. When exiting Night Mode, the scanner emits two
short beeps.
•
Scanning a Default Parameters bar code causes the scanner to exit Night Mode.
•
For scanners that do not use a pager motor, scanning any of the Night Mode parameters or the pager
motor parameters results in an error beep.
•
If the scanner loses power while in Night Mode because a cable is disconnected, on the next power up
the scanner exits Night Mode and resumes normal operation.
NOTE After decoding a bar code, pulling the trigger an additional 5 seconds has no affect.
