Chapter 2: Status Indicator
Status Indicator Overview
The status indicator enables you to see the scanner’s LED colors and blink codes from more positions and
from a greater distance. The scanner’s LED indicator is switched off when the status indicator is installed.
The status indicator is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
The light of the status indicator is visible from all sides of the scanner except the side with the touch screen.
The status indicator can function no matter the orientation of the scanner—even if it is upside-down.

NOTICE:
The status indicator is not waterproof. Do not use the indicator in the rain, or where water
could drip onto it.

to insert it before using the scanner and remove it before storing the scanner.
1. Check the gold plated contact pins of the status indicator before inserting it into the accessory bay. Clean
with a dry cotton swab if necessary.
2. Ensure that the laser scanner is switched off.
3. Remove the protective cover from the accessory bay on the right side of the scanner
