Pairing Methods
Parameter # 545 (SSI # F1h 21h)
There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the digital scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the
pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the digital scanner and cradle when the digital
scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature
enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. If the pairing is successful, a low/high
connection beep sequence sounds a few seconds after the digital scanner is placed in the cradle. See Wireless
Beeper Definitions on page 4-4 for other beep sequences.
To enable or disable pairing on contacts, scan the appropriate bar code below.
Unpairing
Unpair the digital scanner from the cradle or PC/host to make the cradle available for pairing with another digital
scanner. Scan the bar code below to disconnect the digital scanner from its cradle/PC host.
