Charge the Batteries (see page 14). Link to the Base Station (see page 19). Select the Interface Type (see page 20). Configure the Reader starting on page 32 (optional, depends on settings needed).
Setting Up the Reader 1. Insert the appropriate parts for the desired base station position, as shown below. Standing, Horizontal or Vertical 2. Horizontal Only Using your thumbs, push open the plastic tabs on the bottom of the base to free the wing holders.
Connecting the Base Station 3. The stand can now be repositioned in either horizontal or standing position. Horizontal Standing Connecting the Base Station Figure 1 on page 9 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Station. The Gryphon GBT can also be Powered by the Terminal.
Connecting the Base Station Figure 1. Connecting the Base Station Wall plug Connector I/F Cable AC/DC Adapter DC Power Cord Base Station Securing the DC Power Cord (Optional) The DC power cord for the adapter can be secured to the bottom of the base in order to maximize the mechanical retention of the cable itself. The routing of the power cord can be changed to accommodate base station positioning: horizontal, stand or wall mount.
Connecting the Base Station Figure 3. Arrows showing routing Host Connection: Verify before connection that the reader’s ca- ble type is compatible with your host equipment. The Gryphon I GBT4400 can be set up to require a PIN code when connecting to the host.

Cleaning Cleaning Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation require periodic cleaning to ensure best performance during scanning operations. Contacts on the scanner and the base should also be cleaned as needed to ensure a good connection. Always use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens tissue dampened with isopropyl alcohol (or equivalent) or water-based window cleaner.
Charging the Batteries Charging the Batteries To charge the battery, simply insert the Gryphon into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection. The LEDs on the base (shown in Table 1) will indicate the status of the battery. Before using the Battery, read “Battery Safety” in the following section. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
Charging the Batteries WARNING CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye. Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range. Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller.
Charging the Batteries The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries is one-three years, depending on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to use a battery that is showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced.
Charging the Batteries 3. Carefully lift out the gold contacts circuit, and remove the battery holder cap while letting the white connector pass through the hole in the battery holder (as shown below).
