Wireless Beeper Definitions
When the digital scanner scans the pairing barcode it issues various beep sequences indicating successful
or unsuccessful operations. See <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1 for
all beep sequences and LED displays including those which occur during pairing operations.
Radio Communication Host Types
To set up the digital scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan
the appropriate host type barcode below.
Bluetooth Classic vs. Low Energy Bluetooth
Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth has a smaller RF footprint which significantly improves Wi-Fi co-existence.
However, LE Bluetooth is up to 7 times slower than Classic Bluetooth (0.27 Mbps versus 0.7-2.1 Mbps), so
data intensive activities such as firmware update can take significantly longer.
Cradle
Select this host type when connecting a scanner to a communication cradle.
To establish a connection (for initial setup only):
1. Scan the Cradle-Bluetooth Classic or Cradle-Low Energy barcode.
2. Scan the pairing barcode on the cradle or place the scanner in the cradle.

note The scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due
to the radio losing communication. See <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Auto-Reconnect Feature on page 9-64
