Flexible Power Management

If you are experiencing network performance issues, and suspect the scanner is interfering with other devices, you can turn down the power output of the scan- ner. This reduces the range between the scanner and a base or an Access Point as shown in the following illustration:

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the scanner’s power output to Full Power (100%) [2.5mW, 4dBm], Medium Power (35%) [.875mW, 0dBm], Medium Low Power (5%) [.125mW, -9dBm], or Low Power (1%, .025mW, -16dBm). Default = Full Power.

For the new power setting to take effect, the scanner and the base or Access Point must be reset. See Reset Scanner and Base/Access Point (page 3- 16).
