WARNING: This pages contain material which can change the configuration of your scanner or other equipment. You should not scan any barcode or follow any procedure unless you understand the issues or have been advised by our support engineer.

Notes

Before starting read through the whole procedure. The instructions are contained in the section below. Each step is numbered. Start at the beginning and work methodically and logically to the end. If you make a mistake you should start over from the beginning. You may need to scan the Save_and_Exit barcode to terminate before starting over.

You will need to print out the page in order to scan the barcodes. This procedure also needs page SS-9000-HexNum

To avoid accidentally scanning the wrong barcode it is helpful to use blank paper as a mask and approach the target barcode with a sideways motion.

If you are unclear about exactly what you have to do then contact our support engineer. We are always glad to explain and help.

After changing a channel number it is a good idea to inform us so we can update our records. There are two good reasons to do this...

If in the future the scanner needs repair we will always attempt to return it set to the same channel. Sometimes it is not possible to retrieve the channel number from faulty equipment. We then rely on the channel number we have on record.
If you need to purchase more systems in the future we make sure any new scanner is set to a different channel from any we have recorded for you. This ensures new and old scanner stystems do not conflict.

Procedure

Purpose: To change the radio channel used by a cordless scanner. Needed if more than one cordless scanner is used in the same area. May be used to mitigate interference from other radio systems being used in the area. Increasing the communications failure timeout may also help mitigate radio interference. See SS-5110-RadTout

	1: Scan this barcode first
	2: Scan this barcode second
	3: Now scan four numbers from sheet SS-9000-HexNum. The numbers represent a four digit Radio Channel Number. Any channel number in range 0000-1999 is valid. The default channel number we use is 0000 but you must use a different number if you already have a system using that number. Every system must have a unique number otherwise the systems will interfere with each other.



	4: Scan this barcode after scanning the channel address digits.
The Scanner now has a new channel number but before it can be used it has to be associated with the charger base (cradle) which acts as the radio receiver for your data.
	5: Scan this barcode. The green light on the scanner will start to flash. You must now (within 10 seconds) place the scanner firmly on the base. The scanner will beep, signalling the base has been paired to the scanner, the green flashing light on the scanner will go off. This completes the procedure.
