Bluetooth Communications

Reconnecting
When in SPP Master, SSI Bluetooth Classic, and Bluetooth HID, the RS6000 automatically tries to reconnect to a
remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the
RS6000 goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The RS6000 initiates
auto-reconnect based the Auto-Reconnect setting. The duration of the auto-reconnect attempt is specified by the
Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During reconnection, the Status LED blinks blue.
If the auto-reconnect process fails due to:
• Page Time-Outs - The RS6000 sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power
mode.
• Connection Attempt Rejected - The RS6000 sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Status LED
Indications on page 19) and enters low power mode.
Restore Lost Bluetooth Connection
If the auto-reconnect process fails and times out, the Bluetooth connection is re-established as follows:
1. Ensure that the RS6000 is within a range of 10 meters (30 feet) from the mobile computer.
2. Ensure that the mobile computer is on and “awake” (not in Suspend mode).
3. Briefly press the Restore Key on the RS6000 to initiate the reconnect process.
4. The Status LED starts flashing blue indicating that the RS6000 is attempting to establish connection with a
mobile computer. The Status LED turns off and the RS6000 emits one string of low/high beeps indicating that
the RS6000 is connected and ready for scanning.
NOTE: If a bar code is scanned while the auto-reconnect sequence is in process, a transmission error beep
sequence sounds and the data is not transmitted to the host. After a connection is reestablished, normal
scanning operation returns.
Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code causes the radio to be reset. Scanning
is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the RS6000 to re-initialize the radio at which time
scanning is enabled.
