must be in an UNPAIRED state. If the reader is connected to a device, you must
follow the procedure below to UNPAIR the Base Station and the handheld before
attempting to link to a new device. If the handheld is not already connected to
another device, then you can skip this step and go straight to the Linking

and hold the button on the BC 8030-BT (>8 seconds), then read the Unpair bar
code below with each PowerScan BT8300 which you want to unpair from the
cradle.

Linking the PowerScan™ BT8300 to the BC 8030-BT Cradle
The PowerScan BT 8300 reader can be connected with the PowerScan BC 8030-
BT cradle in either of three ways.

connection between a BT reader and a BT cradle is that they
share the same security configuration. The connection timeout
is 30 seconds. Four ascending beeps from the reader indicate a
successful link, otherwise there are four descending tones.
