USING LYNX™ BT SERIES READERS
The Lynx™ BT (Lynx™ Bluetooth
®
) series reader is a wireless scanner
communicating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and using the Serial Port Profile
(SPP).
The Lynx™ BT series reader, paired with an OM-1000 BT cradle, builds a
Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of
decoded data. OM-1000 BT can be connected to a Host PC through a USB,
RS232 or Wedge emulation cable. For details refer to the OM-1000 BT Quick
Reference Guide. OM-1000 BT also serves as a battery charger for Lynx™ BT.
Together with a Bluetooth
®
compatible remote device, Lynx™ BT also builds a
Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of
decoded data. The Bluetooth
®
compatible remote device can be a PC, PDA,
printer, etc with a built-in Bluetooth
®
device or with external Bluetooth
®
adapter
(i.e. a Bluetooth
®
dongle).
Using this Quick Reference Manual, you can initialize and start using your
Lynx™ BT reader with its default values for communicating with a
Bluetooth
®
device. To change the default values or for details about
general configuration commands, refer to the Lynx™ BT Reference
Manual on the configuration CD-ROM.
Thanks to its aiming system, Lynx™ BT visually indicates the reading area and
since Lynx™ BT is a powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the
symbol is not important.
AIMING SYSTEM
The Lynx™ BT reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on
cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of
view to be positioned over the code:
Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the
aiming system is centered and the entire code is within the aiming system, you
will get a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader
closer or farther away from the code.
