Cordless System: Main Components
About the Battery
We recommend use of Hand Held Products Li-ion battery backs.  Use 
of any non-Hand Held Products battery may result in damage not cov-
ered by the warranty.
Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that 
is integrated in the image scanner handle.  Each image scanner is shipped with 
a battery.  
(See Product Specificationsbeginning on page 11-1.)
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the image...

Battery Recommendations
 Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully 
charged for maximum charge capacity.
 The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well 
as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.  
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell 
type battery.
 Do not disassemble the battery.  There are no user-serviceable parts in the 
battery.

Base Charge Mode
In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the cir-
cuitry to work.  There are three conditions during which power can be supplied 
to the base:
Condition 1:9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
Condition 2:12VDC host power source only
Condition 3:5VDC host power source only
The chart below describes each selection by condition.
Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power 
source when the battery is mostly...

Linking Image Scanner to Base
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan-
ner are not linked.  Once the image scanner is placed into the base, the soft-
ware automatically links  the image scanner and the base.  If the image scanner 
and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback.  If this 
is the first time that the image scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a 
short chirp when their radios link.  At this point, you are set to one...

Single Image Scanner Operation
There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link 
Mode and Open Link Mode.  Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the 
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one 
mode to another.  
Default = Locked Link Mode.
Locked Link Mode - Single Image Scanner
If you link an image scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other image 
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into...

Multiple Image Scanner Operation
To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the bar code 
below.  Once you scan this bar code, the image scanner is unlinked from the 
base and must be placed into the base to re-link.
Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image 
scanners to one base.  You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you 
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of 
range.
Image Scanner Name
You are able to...

Changing Image Scanner Name - via Bar codes
If you wanted to set up your image scanners with names 0001-0007, you may 
scan the bar codes below.  Scan the Reset bar code after each name change 
and wait for the image scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next 
bar code to name the next image scanner.
Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot 
send serial commands to the base.  One way to do this is to scan the bar code 
below and scan a number for the...

Image Scanner Report 
Scan the bar code below to generate a report for the connected image scan-
ners.  The report indicates the port, work group, image scanner name, and 
address.
Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to seven image scanners linked to one base.  
You can also have up to seven work groups.  If you want to have all of the image 
scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one 
work group.  If you want each image scanner to have unique...

Application Work Group Selection
This programming selection allows you to assign an image scanner to a work 
group by scanning the bar code below.  You may then program the settings 
(e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires.
