Pairing Modes
Parameter # 542
(F1h 1Eh)
When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
• Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the digital scanner (or up to seven digital
scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different digital scanner, by either scanning
the PAIR barcode on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled
(page 5-37), is rejected. The currently connected digital scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you
must set a Connection Maintenance Interval on page 5-39.
• Unlocked Pairing Mode - Unlocking works in Point-to-Point mode only. Pair (connect) a new digital scanner
to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR barcode on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with
the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This unpairs the previous digital scanner from the cradle.
To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate barcode below.
Lock Override
Lock Override overrides a locked digital scanner base pairing and connects a new digital scanner. To use Lock
Override, scan the barcode below, followed by the pairing barcode on the cradle.

disconnected for a new scanner to connect.
