Insertion of the Scanner in its Cradle
To be sure that proper charging of battery is in progress, verify that the Red
LED of the cradle is steady on when the scanner is placed into its powered
cradle. The Green LED of the base indicates that the battery is fully charged.
If there are other conditions of cradle's LEDs, verify that the scanner is prop-
erly placed in the cradle.
Given the long battery life and the great ergonomics of the GBT/GM44 scan-
ner, it's not needed to place the scanner in the cradle after each barcode
reading transaction. Depending on the intensity of use, the scanner may
only need to be placed in its cradle at the end of the working shift.
Connecting the Base Station
Figure 7 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other
host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for
that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable
before applying power to the Base Station.
The Gryphon GBT4400 can be set up to require a PIN code when connecting to the host. If you
are connecting to a system that uses a custom security PIN, follow the procedure in "Connect-
ing the Base when Security Pin is Enabled" on page
2-16
. For information on how to configure
this feature, see
"BT Security Mode"
starting on page 253.
Base Station Connection and Routing:
Fully insert the Power Cable and Interface
(I/F) Cable connectors into their respective ports in the underside of the Base
Station (see Figure 7). Then connect to an AC Adapter, and plug the AC
power cord into the (wall) outlet.
Gryphon Wireless can also be Powered by the Terminal. When powered by the
Terminal, the battery charger is automatically set as Slow charge.
For some specific interfaces or hosts or lengths of cable, the use of an exter-
nal power supply may be recommended for full recharging capability (see
"Technical Specifications"
on page 303 for more details).
