POWER SAVE MODES AND THE MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTON Figure 8a: Multi-Function Button CHANGING THE BEEPER TONE Figure 8b: Changing the Beeper Tone A Short (<3 second) depression and the beeper tone will change. The new tone will be heard, followed by a short pause. Then two more of the new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory. The silent (no beep) tone is also selectable.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the MS7220 scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, use the Multi-Function Button or refer to the MetroSelect Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02407). One Beep When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn on, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Flashing Red and Green and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with both LEDs off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on the front of the MS7220. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No Red or Green LED The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
