In the trigger mode, with the trigger on the pistol grip, you can read barcodes and UHF tags. If you pull trigger
once then KDC480/485 reads RFID tag and pull trigger twice very shortly then KDC480/485 reads barcodes.
The following are barcodes to enable/disable Trigger mode.

Toggling the Read Mode: Barcode mode vs. UHF mode
With the same SCAN button or the trigger on the pistol grip, you can read barcodes (Barcode mode) or UHF
tags (UHF mode) depending on the read mode and you can change the mode alternatively.
a)
On “Barcode mode”, a barcode can be read by a SCAN button or
trigger button.
b)
On “UHF mode”, UHF tags can be read by a SCAN button or trigger button.
c)
By default, it is a
“Barcode mode”
and also it is set back to a “barcode mode” after the factory default.
d)
There are two ways to change the read mode:
1)
Press and hold the UP button for 3 seconds
2)
