44 PowerScan™ RF Scanner
RF Beeper
Settings
The RF version of the scanner exhibits different beeper behavior than
standard (non-RF) models. For more information about RF beeper indi-
cations, see the section, LED and Beeper Indications.
Good Read Beep — When good read beep is enabled, this beep sounds
at the time the scanner successfully reads a bar code. Selectable settings
for the good read beep include:
• RF When to Beep
• Beeper Volume
• Good Read Beep Frequency
• Beep Duration
ACK Beep — The scanner can sound an acknowledgement (ACK)
beep to indicate when the Base Station has acknowledged to the scan-
ner that is has received a successful data transmission from the scanner.
This beep is also sounded upon a successful channel change sequence
or a successful configuration transmission.
Transmission Error Beep — Another selectable indicator beep is the
transmission error beep. This beep sounds to indicate an error in trans-
mission between the RF devices.
Link Beep — The handheld scanner will sound a special link beep
upon successfully linking with a Base Station. This indication cannot be
disabled and is not programmable, other than that it shares the same
Beeper Volume setting as other beeper indications set using that fea-
ture.
Unlink Beep — When a scanner is successfully unlinked from a Base
Station, a unique unlink beep is sounded. This beep is not programma-
ble, and also sounds at the same volume set for Beeper Volume.
NOTE
The following descriptions highlight configurable
beeper functions that are unique to RF handheld
scanners. All other beeper functions supported by
the standard version of the scanner are supported
by RF models.
