Radio Base LEDs
The Base contains a button which is used primarily to perform a paging function. Pressing the button causes an audible
tone signal to be emitted by the Reader linked to the Base and can be used for locating the scanner when it is active –
press
quickly (less than one second) to initiate paging
.
Configuration
The Reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the Interface barcode, you can select other
options to customize your Readers behavior with The Uniform Solution. This will be accomplished through the use of instructions
issued to the Reader through programming barcodes. Some instructions require that only a single barcode be scanned whereas
others required that a sequence of barcodes be scanned by the Reader. For the most part you will be scanning the barcodes that
follow in their order of appearance. Simply read then follow the instructions below. –
Note that in the last section, the Unlink
programming barcode is only to be used when attempting to reestablish a connection between a Reader and its Base Station
.
