Verifying Scanner Operation
Once a charged battery has been installed in the scanner, scan the
sample bar codes in the back of this manual that correspond to the
symbologies your scanner is programmed to read. If unsure how to
do this, see the section on How to Scan in this manual. The system
may signal with one or a combination of indicators depending upon
how the scanner and Base Station are programmed to respond (see
LED and Beeper Indications for details). If your scanner fails to read a
sample bar code of a symbology it’s programmed to read, turn to the
section titled, Troubleshooting.
Connecting the Base Station to the Host Terminal
1. Connect the I/F cable to the Base Station (see Figure 2A). The
I/F cable is inserted into the connector and the cable retainer
clip is rotated over the cable overmold until the retainer
snaps in place (see Figure 2B). To disconnect the cable, push
in on the retainer (away from the catch on the plastic wall) to
release it and enable it to swing upward, allowing the cable
to be pulled free (see Figure 2C).
Figure 2 . Connecting/Disconnecting the Interface (I/F) Cable
NOTE
It is important that the interface (I/F) cable be con-
nected to the Base Station prior to applying power
to the system. This is because the interface type
(RS-232, IBM, Keyboard Wedge, etc.) is selected by
the Base Station subject to the I/F cable it is con-
nected to at the time of power-up.
