P470/370 RF Scanner Product Reference Guide
Pairing the Scanner with the Cradle
The scanner and cradle must be paired for communication to occur.
Note:
If the cradle is attached to a new host, re-scan the pairing bar code.
To pair the scanner with the cradle:
1. Scan the pairing bar code on the top of the cradle.
To pair a long range scanner (P370 ALR) to a regular P370 cradle, attach the
“spare pairing bar code” label to the cradle. This 15 mil bar code, packaged with
the cradle, can be scanned by the P370 ALR at a distance of approximately two
feet from the cradle.
2. The scanner may briefly display the “pairing search for channel” message while the
scanner searches for the base. Once the base is detected, information is
exchanged (addressing, RF channels, etc.) between the scanner and the cradle.
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for the scanner to search for the base
during over-the-air pairing. To reduce the pairing time, place the
scanner in the cradle.
3. After the exchange is complete, the scanner and cradle are paired.
Successful pairing is indicated by a warble beep and the base’s LED will flash.
If pairing is unsuccessful, the scanner emits a Lo/Hi beep and displays the
following message:
The pairing of a scanner to a cradle is one-to-one. Only one scanner can be paired to a
cradle at any point in time. If you pair a second scanner to an in use cradle, the cradle’s
connection to the first scanner will be broken and the connection re-established with the
second scanner.
To pair a scanner to a different cradle, scan its pairing bar code located on the top of the
cradle.
