Operating modes
6.4.1
Wireless operation (batch mode)
Wireless operation of the handheld device is recommended for certain
applications. As soon as you remove the interface cable (USB, RS 232 cable) or
move outside the range of a Bluetooth connection, the handheld device switches
automatically to "Batch mode": In this mode, the read data is stored in the internal
memory of the handheld device. You then have the option of transferring the data
stored in the handheld device to the computer at a later time.

The
RS 232
submenu opens.
3. Edit the relevant parameters.

Caution!
Data loss
An incorrectly preset interface may lead to data loss.
Make sure that the Handheld is connected to the interface (USB, RS 232,
Bluetooth) preset in the Handheld. If necessary, use another interface cable or
modify the settings in the Handheld.
Note!
Using batteries
You will require a battery or a handle with integral battery to operate the handheld
device using a wireless connection or a cable via an RS 232 interface.
A battery is not normally required for cable operation via USB. However, this
depends on the current strength that the computer supplies via the USB
connection. If the computer does not supply sufficient power to the USB port, you
will require a USB hub with a separate power supply or will have to fit a battery to
the handheld device.
If you wish to operate the handheld device without a handle using a cable via the
USB port, you must fit a battery compartment cover ODZ-MAH-BLANK to the
device.
This optional accessory is available from Fuchs.
