1.1.2 POWER-SAVING & RF AUTO-SHUTDOWN
There are two settings for saving battery power —
 Power-Saving: The scanner will stay active at power-on for 1 minute. When the
scanner fails to connect in the interval, it will enter power-saving mode automatically.
 RF Auto-Shutdown (1~255 min.; 0= Disable): By default, when the scanner is
connected via 3666 and found idle for 10 minutes, it will automatically stop RF
connectivity. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.
Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1. The scanner will stay active for a preset period of time (1 minute) for the following scenarios.
Its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:1).
(a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode)
(b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID)
(c) trying to connect to 3666
2. If it fails to connect within 1 minute, the scanner will become inactive to save power, and its
LED will turn off.
Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay
active again.
Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, on your computer you may need to search for
the scanner again.
After establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for data
transmission. Its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:6).
2. With the use of 3666, the scanner will automatically stop RF connectivity when it is idle for the
specified time interval for RF Auto-Shutdown. You will hear three short beeps, tone
descending from high to low, and its LED will turn off.
Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay
active again.
 For BT HID or SPP, there is no implementation of RF Auto-Shutdown.

after 0~255 min.

1) Read the barcode above to specify the time interval before the scanner enters
low-speed mode.
2) Read the “
Decimal Value” barcode on page 165. For example, read “5” for the
scanner to enter low-speed mode after being idle for 5 minutes.
3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.
