Keep in mind that scan indi- cators only function when using a non-decoded 1D laser scanner connected to the tether port. All other external scanners have inte- grated LED indicators that are not controlled by the 8525/8530 G2.

The LED behaves as follows:

•Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.

•Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.
