PDT Version
Before using your 1555 PDT version, you must first charge the battery pack.
Note: Full charging capacity is reached after three to four uses. A typical charge
takes approximately four hours.
To charge the battery pack
1. Plug the pack into a standard power supply (outlet or power strip). The battery
pack light-emitting diode (LED) lights green then changes to red to show that the
pack is charging. When the pack is fully charged the LED changes back to green.
2. Unplug the battery pack from its power source and plug it into the base of the
1555 unit.
3. Pull the trigger once. The 1555 emits two audible beeps and displays the current
operating mode on its LCD.
The 1555 is ready to be configured.
Standard Version
To start using your 1555 standard version, plug the power cord into a standard power
supply (outlet or power strip) and pull the trigger once. The 1555 emits two audible
beeps and displays the current operating mode on its liquid crystal display (LCD). The
1555 is ready to be configured.
Configuring Your Sabre 1555
Before using your Sabre 1555, you must configure it to read from and write to RFID
tags and scan laser bar codes. You can set up the 1555 in any of four methods:
•
Using EasySet software to print configuration bar codes and read them in bar code
read operating mode (referred to as configuration command mode). This method
is described in this chapter.
•
Using EasySet software to download setup instructions to your 1555 (referred to
as configuration command mode). This method is described in this chapter.
•
Using combinations of the 1555 mode button, trigger, and LCD screen (referred to
as configuration command mode). This method is described in this chapter.
•
Controlling the 1555 via a host system (referred to as interactive programming).
This method is discussed in detail in Chapter 4.
