Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is
detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without
user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:
Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an
Access Point. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or
an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the
number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will
not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or
placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.
Event Auto Reconnect On Auto Reconnect Off
Scanner out of range Relink occurs automatically. If maximum

The scanner is relinked by pulling the
