To see what the factory default settings are, refer to the table of Menu Commands, beginning on page 12-4.  The standard prod-
uct default settings for each of the commands are indicated by an asterisk (*).  
Note: Scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become 
unlinked.  The scanner must be placed in the base, or the Access Point linking bar code must be scanned to re-establish 
the link.  Refer to Scanner Modes, page 3-9 for additional information.
If your scanner is in multiple scanner mode, you will hear up to 30 seconds of beeping while all scanners are relinked to 
the base or Access Point and the settings are changed. 
Resetting the Custom Defaults: All Application Work Groups
If you want the custom default settings restored to all of the work groups, scan the Custom Product Default Settings bar code 
below.  (If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the work groups to the factory defaults.)  See  Setting Custom Defaults on 
page 1-13 for further information about custom defaults.
Note: Scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become 
unlinked.  The scanner must be placed in its base, or the Access Point linking bar code must be scanned to re-establish 
the link.  Refer to Scanner Modes, page 3-9 for additional information.  
If your scanner is in multiple scanner mode, you will hear up to 30 seconds of beeping while all scanners are relinked to 
the base or Access Point and the settings are changed. 
Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices
The scanner can be used either with the charge base, an Access Point, or with other Bluetooth devices.  Those devices include 
personal computers, laptops, PDAs, and Honeywell mobility systems devices.
Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing (SSP)
Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) allows you to connect simply and securely to other Bluetooth devices without having to enter 
a PIN code (as described in Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect procedure).  SSP is only available when using Bluetooth ver-
sion 2.1 or higher.  When SSP is on, no PIN is required for pairing. Turn SSP off if you are connecting to a Bluetooth device 
that is not using a compatible Bluetooth version.  Default = Bluetooth SSP On. 
Note: SSP is only available with Granit 1981i scanner.
Custom Default Settings:
All Work Groups
* Bluetooth SSP On
Bluetooth SSP Off

Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect
Your scanner can be paired with Bluetooth-capable devices, such as personal computers, laptops, and tablets, so that 
scanned data appears on your device screen as though it was entered on the keyboard.  In order to pair with the Bluetooth 
device: 
1. Scan the appropriate Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect bar code below. 
2. Set tyour personal computer, laptopt or tablet so it searches for other Bluetooth devices.  (Refer to your device’s User’s 
Guide for pairing instructions.) 
3. Select the scanner name on your device.  Some devices will automatically pair with the scanner.   If your device pairs 
automatically with the scanner, it displays a successful pairing message and you do not need to continue to the next 
step.
4. If your device does not automatically pair with the scanner, a PIN is displayed.  This PIN must be scanned within 60 
seconds.  Quickly scan Bluetooth PIN Code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the PIN code from the chart 
below, then scan Save.

Virtual Keyboard
Once your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop, you can toggle the virtual keyboard on 
your device with a quick double pull of the scanner trigger. 
Note: This feature is not supported in Granit devices.
Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect
If your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop using Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect 
(page 3-22), you must disconnect it in order to once again communicate with the base or Access Point.  Scan the Blue-
tooth HID Keyboard Disconnect bar code to unlink the scanner from the currently linked host.  Scan the linking bar code 
on the base or Access Point to relink the scanner.
Bluetooth Serial Port - PCs/Laptops
Scanning the Non-Base BT Connection bar code below unlinks your scanner and puts it into a discoverable state.  Once 
the scanner searches for and connects with a Bluetooth host, the scanner stores the connection to the host device address 
and switches virtual COM ports.  This allows the scanner to automatically relink to the host if the connection is lost.

PDAs/Mobility Systems Devices
You may also use the scanner with a PDA or a Honeywell Mobility Systems device.  Scan the bar code below and follow the 
instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner, and connect with it.  
Changing the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code 
Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features.  Your scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you 
may need to enter the first time you connect to your PDA or PC.  The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters.  To 
change the PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes from the Programming Chart 
inside the back cover of this manual.  Scan Save to save your selection.
Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the cordless area-imaging system to obtain the 
best compromise between convenience and low interference.
Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.
Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is 
detected.  When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without 
user intervention.  Default = Auto Reconnect On.
Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings: 
EventAuto Reconnect OnAuto Reconnect Off
Scanner out of rangeRelink occurs automatically.  If maximum 
number of link attempts is unsuccessful, 
then the scanner must be relinked by 
either pulling the trigger, placing the 
scanner in the base, or scanning the 
Access Point linking bar code.  (See 
Maximum Link Attempts on page 3-25.)The scanner is relinked by pulling the 
trigger, or scanning the Access Point 
linking bar code.

Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an 
Access Point.  During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or 
an Access Point.  In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the 
number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting.  After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will 
not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point.  Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or 
placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.  
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside 
back cover.  Scan Save to save the setting.  Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until 
the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-12) expires.  When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum 
Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts.  An attempt to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point 
typically lasts up to 5 seconds.  This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact .  Relink Time-Out con-
trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a base unit or Access Point.  An 
extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back 
cover.  Scan Save to save the setting.  Default = 3 seconds.

							3 - 26
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit or Access Point.  Each 
attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time.  After one hour, the scanner 
powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit or Access Point.  Each attempt consists 
of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time.  After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 min-
utes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved 
in batch mode.  After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink.  When  the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link 
to the base or Access Point.  Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle 
time.  After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but 
retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode.  After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode 
data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-24, to review other events that can start the relink process.

Note: See Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 3-12.
The scanner attempts to connect to the base or Access Point every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the 
next attempt start.  After one half hour, the scanner powers off.
Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar code data (database look-up) and provide 
acknowledgement to the scanner whether or not to proceed.  In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgement 
after each scan.  Visual and audible acknowledgements provide valuable feedback to the scan operator.  The Host ACK func-
tionality is controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different 
ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
 The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000)  or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
 RTS/CTS is defaulted off.  You must enable it if the host system requires it.
 Host ACK must be set to On (page 3-27). 
 A comma must be used as a terminator.
 The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, make decisions based on the data content, and 
send out appropriate escape commands to the scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all scanners in a 
group respond to that command.  Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own group in 
Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 3-27.  The [ESC] is a 1B in hex.  A typical command string is 
y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application work group number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator, 
which is required.  (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default Application Work Group 0.)
Example:Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences.  An example of a command string is listed 
below.
0[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner that is in application work group zero beep low, then medium, then high. 
						

							3 - 27
Example:A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required if the item is not on file.  In this 
case,
[ESC]7, is sent to the host for an on-file product
[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent to the host for a not-on-file product
When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout 
expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is scanned:
 The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to transmit to the host system.  No audible or visual 
indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command.  The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a 
successful read.
 Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
 Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds.  A time-out is indicated by an 
error tone.  If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was 
not received.
