CORDLESS SYSTEM OPERATION
How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works
A CCB01-010BT/CCB01-010BT-BF or a CCB-H-010BT/CCB-H-010BT-BF
cordless charge base or an Access Point provides the link between the cordless
scanner and the host system. The base/Access Point contains an interface
assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module
performs the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface
assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities
including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system,
performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support,
power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.
The cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery or charge pack charger. Refer
to Battery Recommendations, page 47, for additional information.
Link the Scanner to a Charge Base
Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put the
scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes to
indicate the scanner is charging.
If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any
feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices
emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, that one scanner is linked to
one base.
To determine if your scanner has linked to the base correctly, scan one of the
sample barcodes beginning on page 309. If the scanner provides a single good
read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the
base. If you receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked
to the base. Refer to page 295 for troubleshooting information.
