User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 5 - 13
Night Mode
For DS6878-HC units only, manufactured after xx/xx/2013
The Night Mode feature allows the user to easily switch to a “quiet mode” in order to use the pager motor with
the beeper off.
Enter and exit Night Mode in one of two ways:
•
If Night Mode Trigger is enabled, you can use the trigger to toggle between entering and exiting Night
Mode. To do this, point the digital scanner away from a bar code and pull the trigger until the beam goes
off. Continue to pull the trigger for an additional 5 seconds.
•
Scan the Night Mode Toggle bar code to enter or exit Night Mode, regardless of the state of the Night
Mode Trigger parameter.
Entering Night Mode makes the following changes to the digital scanner:
•
Decode Pager Motor is enabled.
•
Beep After Good Decode is disabled.
•
Beep on Insertion is disabled.
•
Scanning the pairing bar code activates the pager motor instead of the warble beep, and on pairing
connection, the pager motor activates again.
Also note the following scanner behavior regarding night mode:
•
Exiting Night Mode returns the scanner to the previously programmed states for the three parameters
changed (for example, if Beep After Good Decode was enabled before entering Night Mode, it returns to
enabled upon exiting night mode).
•
When entering Night Mode, the pager motor vibrates. When exiting Night Mode, the scanner emits two
short beeps.
•
Scanning a Default Parameters bar code or removing the battery causes the scanner to exit Night Mode.
•
For scanners that do not use a pager motor, scanning any of the Night Mode parameters or the pager
motor parameters results in an error beep.
•
If the scanner loses power while in Night Mode due to a dead battery or the Battery Off bar code being
scanned, on the next power up the scanner exits Night Mode and resumes normal operation.
NOTE After decoding a bar code, pulling the trigger an additional 5 seconds has no affect.
