Charge Pack Conservation Mode
The scanner offers three low power modes: 1) No timeout, 2) Don’t check base
network before timeout, and 3) Check base network before timeout.
The lowest standby current is achieved with “No timeout” selected. Radio
contact is maintained and workgroup configuration settings are maintained. “No
timeout” is the default setting and is recommended if the scanner is active for
most of the workday, and the charge pack is removed when the scanner is not in
use.
With Timeout
If “Don’t check base network before timeout” is selected and the scanner is idle.
The timeout period is selectable in increments of 15 minutes up to one hour. On
the next trigger-pull, the scanner begins the reassociation process to restore the
radio link and the workgroup configuration settings. This setting is
recommended if the scanner is left inactive for long periods of time during the
workday or if the charge pack is left attached when the scanner is not in use.
The “Check base network before timeout” mode is identical to the previous mode
except that when the timeout period expires, the scanner tests whether it is still
in radio contact with the base. This setting may be recommended if the charge
pack is left attached and the base is powered off at the end of each working day.
