Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside
back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until
the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-11) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum
Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point
typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out con-
trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a base unit or Access Point. An
extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back
cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit or Access Point. Each
attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner
powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists
of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 min-
utes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved
in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link
to the base or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle
time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but
retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode
data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-24, to review other events that can start the relink process.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0
Relink Time-Out set to 10
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800
Note: See Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 3-11.
The scanner attempts to connect to the base or Access Point every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the
next attempt start. After one half hour, the scanner powers off.
