4 - 4 DS8178 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Wireless Beeper Definitions
When the digital scanner scans the pairing bar code it issues various beep sequences indicating successful or
unsuccessful operations. See Beeper and LED Indications on page 2-1 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 bar code 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 (DS8178-SC or DS8178-PC).
To establish a connection (for initial setup only):
1. Scan the Cradle-Bluetooth Classic or Cradle-Low Energy bar code.
2. Scan the pairing bar code on the cradle or place the scanner in the cradle.
