To adjust the beeper volume:

• Lock the [BLUE] key ‘on’.
• Press the increase volume key or the decrease volume key

until the volume meets your needs.

• Press the [BLUE] key again to ‘unlock’ it.

2.6 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your vehicle-mount is equipped with a wireless-LAN radio, it will

typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal

quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the

communication link.
To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:

• Double-tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the

Wireless Statistics dialog box.

Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have vary-

ing effects on a network session. At times, you may need to

renew your connection by logging in again.

2.7 Scanning Techniques

Note: External scanners can be connected to the 8525 G2/8530 G2

tether, serial or USB device port.

• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to

the bar code.

• Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this

position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window

and prevent a successful decode.

• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or 2D scanner,

make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space

on the bar code, including the margins on either end of

the symbol.
