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.

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base or an Access Point using the Locked
Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are
inadvertently placed into the base, or if the Access Point linking bar
code is scanned. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will
charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See Scanner Modes, page

new scanner is placed in the base, or you scan an Access Point linking
