Battery Conservation Mode
In order to preserve scanner battery power, you can set the scanner to “go to
sleep” after the scanner or its base has been idle for a certain length of time. A
cordless scanner “checks in” with its base unit on a periodic basis. If the base
unit has been turned off, you can set the scanner to turn itself off as well (sleep
mode). If you prefer, you can set the scanner to turn itself off regardless of the
base unit state (nap mode). Once a scanner is off, or asleep, a single trigger
pull wakes it up and begins the reassociation process, see page 1–12. A
second trigger pull is required to scan a code.
If you want the scanner to turn off after a period of inactivity, regardless of the
state of the base, scan Don’t Check for Network Base Before Timeout (nap
mode), then scan the desired timeout length code (page 2–13). When the
scanner has been idle for the timeout length, it turns itself off. If the scanner
has shown no activity for 1 hour, it will automatically shut off by default.
