Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the wireless area-imaging system to obtain the
best compromise between convenience and low interference.
Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.
Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is
detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without
user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:
Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a host.
During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a host. In order to prevent
continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited
by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a host.
Pressing the scan button, scanning a host linking bar code, or pairing the scanner with a host resets the attempt count and
the scanner will again try to link.
Event Auto Reconnect On Auto Reconnect Off
Scanner out of range Relink occurs automatically. If maximum
number of link attempts is unsuccessful,
then the scanner must be relinked by
either pressing the scan button or
relinking the scanner to the host. See

The scanner is relinked by pressing
the scan button or relinking to the
host.
Host reset (firmware upgrade or
power cycle)
Scanner behaves as if out of range. No attempt to relink made while host
is powered off. Scan button must be
pressed to initiate relinking.
