When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
