ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCANNER AND CRADLE Before the normal scanning starts, Bluetooth communication between the scanner and cradle must be established. The communication between the scanner and cradle can be established by scanning the Bluetooth address code located on the cradle. The pairing process takes a few seconds and can be confirmed by a solid blue LED on the cradle and a solid blue LED on the scanner, when the laser is activated. Dynamic Pair Function The scanner can "connect" to any cradle by scanning the Bluetooth address code attached to that cradle. This is referred as "Dynamic Pair Function". Each scanner will only communicate with the last cradle address scanned. Once a cradle is paired with a scanner, another scanner can not be paired with that cradle until the connection is broken. The connection can be easily broken by placing the unit into sleep mode by holding down the CodeGate button for three (3) seconds. For example: Scanner #1 has established communication with Cradle #1. If you make it scan the Bluetooth address code on Cradle #2, its connection with Cradle #1 will break and switch to Cradle #2. At this time, if Scanner #2 scans the Bluetooth address code on Cradle #2 again, it will razz, indicating that the communication cannot be established since Cradle #2 already connects to Scanner #1. RangeGate The operation range of the Bluetooth communication is 10 meters between the scanner and cradle. If scans are made out of this range, the communication will break and the blue LED will flash. At this time, RangeGate becomes active, and the bar codes scanned during this communication loss will be stored in the SRAM of the scanner instead of being lost. Once communication is reestablished, the stored data will be transferred to the host and normal scanning will resume. 8
