When the digital scanner scans the pairing barcode it issues various beep sequences indicating successful or
unsuccessful operations. See DS3678 Scanner Beeper and LED Definitions on page 3-2 for all beep sequences
and LED displays including those which occur during pairing operations.
Radio Communications Host Types
Parameter # 383 (F0h 7Fh)
To set up the digital scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the
appropriate host type barcode below.
Classic Bluetooth vs. Low Energy Bluetooth
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth has a better Wi-Fi coexistence, as advertising and connection is done
outside of the Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 (2402, 2426, 2480 MHz). Due to its lower data rate, Bluetooth Low
Energy is up to seven times slower than Classic Bluetooth (0.27 Mbps versus 0.7-2.1 Mbps). Data intensive
activities such as firmware updates, can take significantly longer over Bluetooth Low Energy.
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-Classic Bluetooth 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 Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback on page 5-25 for more
information.
