NOTES

Quick Reference Guide

Using the BC9xx0-BT Base Station

The BC9xx0-BT base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™

BT9X00 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding

and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via

RS232, USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts. The

BC91x0 models also provide a spare battery charger slot.

The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.

When the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will transmit a

"broadcast" message. When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured

scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to

that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5

seconds. This functionality is useful to:

• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station

• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere

When the button is pressed for longer

than 5 seconds, all paired scanners will

be unpaired.

The LEDs signal the BC9xx0-BT status,

as shown in the table below:

LED STATUS

Aux Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered through an external

power supply.

Host Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered by the Host.

Reader

Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.

Red On = the reader battery is charging.

Orange Blinking = reader battery fault - replace battery.

Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see

PRG.

Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted.

Installation

2BC 9xx0-BT Cradle

Installation

To set up your BC9xx0-BT cradle you must:

1. Physically install the cradle.

2. Make all system connections.

3. Configure the BC9xx0-BT cradle.

Mounting the BC9xx0-BT Cradle

The cradle package contains the following items:

The cradle can be either mounted on a flat surface for desktop usage or

affixed vertically to a wall.

Mounting Brackets

The cradle comes with two different mounting brackets. The appropriate

bracket is used depending on whether the cradle will be mounted on a hori-

zontal or vertical surface. When shipped, the cradle has the Desktop Mount-

ing Bracket installed. For vertical installation, the Wall Mounting Bracket

must be attached instead.

Spare

(BC91x0-BT models only)

Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.

Orange Blinking = spare battery fault - replace spare battery.

Red/Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG.

Off = no spare battery in the housing or battery not fully

inserted.

Radio Yellow Blinking = radio activity.

Ethernet

(Ethernet models only) Green Blinking = Ethernet activity.

Figure 1. Mounting Brackets

• Desktop mount bracket has ribs to keep the scanner in place when

the cradle is horizontal

• Wall mount bracket contains bosses to keep the scanner in place

when the cradle is vertical.

To change the Bracket:

1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for

re-use.

2. Carefully lift off the Bracket.

3. Install the other bracket by first slipping the end tab into place on

the base station, then easing the tabs (shown in Figure 1 on page 3)

into place on the sides.

4. Replace the screw to secure the Bracket to the Base Station.

Permanent Mounting

For either desktop or wall mounting, the cradle can be fastened directly to a

flat surface using screws (not included).

Figure 3. Base Station Bottom

Mounting for Portable Use

If portability of the cradle is required, the metal plate must be used. There are

two ways this can be done: (1) by first mounting the metal plate on a flat sur-

face so the cradle can be slid off and on, or (2) mounting the metal plate onto

the back of the base station and then screwing both to the desired surface.

Mounting the Metal Plate

1. Affix the metal plate onto the desired mounting surface using the

two center screw holes (see Figure 4 on page 6).

2. Remove the adhesive strips protecting the mounting tabs on the

cradle, shown in Figure 3.

3. Slide the tabs on the back of the cradle onto the metal plate as

shown in Figure 4.

4. After aligning the tabs, push up to lock into place.

NOTE

When mounting on drywall, the base should be screwed to a wall stud

or supporting beam for additional support.

NOTE

For additional security on wall mounting, it is strongly recommended

that the cradle be secured into place using two auxiliary screws

through the mounting holes on the side.
