Chapter 4 Radio Communications
Introduction
This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication
between digital scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the
digital scanner.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page 4-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous digital scanner defaults). If the
default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host
information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a
new host.
To return all features to default values, scan a default bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-4. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
