2.6 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your vehicle-mount is equipped with a wireless-LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link.

To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:

•Double-tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the Wireless Statistics dialog box.

Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have vary- ing effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.

2.7 Scanning Techniques

Note: External scanners can be connected to the 8525 G2/8530 G2 tether, serial or USB device port.

•Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.

•Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.

•Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or 2D scanner, make certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on either end of

the symbol.
