RF Scanner
RF Channel
Selection
Radio communications between the handheld scanner and its linked
Base Station can be carried over one of ten different allowable frequen-
cies (channels). Select alternate channels to improve communications
between devices in noisy RF environments.
When a new channel is selected, the scanner sends a change-of-channel
message to the Base Station. After the Base Station has acknowledged
receipt of the message, both the scanner and the Base Station switch
their radio channels to the new channel (reference LED and Beeper Indi-
cations for information regarding scanner and Base Station acknowl-
edgement signals at this point). All further communication is done on
the new channel.
Feature is applicable to scanner and Base Station.
NOTE
Channel selection bar codes are of the type C pro-
gramming sequence category (see Programming
Sequence on page 36), and do not require you to
scan accompanying SET or END bar codes.
NOTE
Available channel frequencies will vary according to
the country/model of the scanner.
NOTE
Any other scanner that happens to be linked to that
Base Station will be unable to communicate with
the Base Station until it has switched to the new
channel. To accomplish this, scan the Base ID label
with each scanner you desire to be linked to the
Base Station. This action will automatically set each
scanner to the correct new channel.
