5.Apply power to the Host Terminal.

6.Verify communication with the Host Terminal by aiming the linked scanner at a sample bar code from the back pages of this manual, and pulling the trigger (see How to Scan for tips about scanning bar codes). Confirm that the scanner/Base Station sent the data to the host terminal. If not, see the section, Trou- bleshooting. Once all communications are verified, the system is ready for use.

To link a scanner to a Base Station, simply scan the Base Station ID bar code located on the top of the desired Base Station. As the scanner searches for the Base Station, a short beep is heard as it seeks for the correct channel. When the Base Station responds to the request, the scanner’s beeper will either sound a "Link Granted," or "Link Denied" signal (see the section, LED and Beeper Indications for more informa- tion).
