Quick Reference
Program Default Parameters
Scanning the SET DEFAULTS bar code returns all parameters to the
values listed in the Default Table, which appears at the end of this
guide.
Other customized programming must be performed through bar
codes available in the
P 370/470 Product Reference Guide
or
Advanced Programmer’s Guide
.
With this set, you are ready to scan bar codes.
Set Transmission Frequency (Optional)
The scanner and base can communicate on a number of different
channel frequencies, which varies by country. In most countries,
there are 80 available channels (numbered 2 through 81); in France,
there are only 9 channels (numbered 46 through 54).
The initial transmission frequency is determined by the base’s
unique address, so neighboring systems operate on different
channels without interfering with each other. Occassionally, there
may be noticeable interference on a channel from some other source
of radio transmissions. The system has been programmed to change
the channel automatically if it detects excessive interference, but the
channel may also be changed manually if there are communications
problems.
To set the transmission frequency, scan the
SELECT CHANNEL
NUMBER
bar code appropriate for your country. Then scan two
numeric bar codes to set the two-digit channel number within the
allowable range (46 through 54 in France, 02 through 81
elsewhere).
