2) provides a communication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and
base or Access Point, depending on the environment. The CCB02-100BT
(Bluetooth Class 1) provides a communication range of 330 feet (100m)

System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ-
ate a scanner to a base or Access Point, as you move a scanner out of range,
bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless sys-
tems. The following information explains the cordless system operating condi-
tions.
Linking Process
Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner’s bat-
tery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scan-
ner and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.
Refer to Linking the Scanner to an Access Point , page 3-2, for information
about linking to an Access Point.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point,
even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t
communicate with the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of
range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner
issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base or Access
Point. A cordless charge base can also sound an alarm. Refer to
Out-of-
Range Alarm , page 3-15.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base or Access Point have been
reset, or the scanner comes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will
hear a single chirp when the relinking process (uploading of the parameter
table) is complete. Refer to
Out-of-Range Alarm on page 3-15 for further
information.
Out of Range and Back into Range
with Batch Mode On
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C.
symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to
the base or Access Point when back in range (see
Batch Mode on page 3-
19).
