In order to program the base for Charge Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it. Once the scanner is linked to the base,
scan the Charge Only Mode bar code. Any subsequent scanners placed in that base will charge without linking to it. The
scanner used to program the base remains linked to the base. To unlink this scanner, scan Unlink Scanner on page 3-9.
Note: When in Charge Only Mode, the scanner periodically wakes up and beeps. See "Power Up Beeper" on page 4-1 to
change this setting.
If you want to charge a scanner and link to the base, use Charge and Link Mode. If the base is programmed for Charge
Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it first in order to program it for Charge and Link Mode. Scan the linking bar code on
the base to link the scanner, then scan Charge and Link Mode. Default = Charge and Link Mode.
Linked Modes
Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode are the link modes that accommodate different applications. 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 = Open Link Mode.
Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are
inadvertently placed into the base. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will charge the scanner, but the
scanner will not be linked.
To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See
Scanner Modes, page 3-7.)
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not linked to a base. A link is established when the
scanner is placed into a base. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a new scanner is placed in
the base. Each time a scanner is placed into a base, the scanner becomes the linked to the base and the old scanner
is unlinked.
