Rebooting the Bluetooth Module

Suspend

To improve battery life, the Suspend timeout can be adjusted by scanning the bar codes in Set Suspend Timeout.

Suspend begins if the Suspend timeout occurs before the ring device trigger is pressed.

A ring decoder scan button press is required to wake the module from Suspend. The module is ready to receive bar code data.

Note: After the ring device scan button press (to wake the module from Suspend) another scan button press is needed to scan a bar code.

If the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is in master mode and the Reconnect Timeout period expires, a ring decoder scan button press resets the Reconnect Interval timer and the Reconnect Timeout timer in the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module.

Reboot

Follow the steps below to reboot and restore the previously stored module configuration settings:

1.Remove the battery.

2.Replace the battery. Do not press the ring device trigger. The previously stored configuration settings are restored.

Reset

Follow the steps below to restore the module factory default configuration:

1.Remove the battery.

2.Replace the battery while pressing the ring device trigger for 30 or more seconds. The factory default configuration is restored.

Battery

Note: Connect the Ring decoder to the Bluetooth Module before inserting a battery into the module. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module performs initialization with the ring device on bootup.

The spring-loaded rechargeable lithium-Ion battery pack in the Bluetooth ring scanner module can be replaced using one hand. No special tools are needed.

The 3.7V, 750mAhH Li-Ion battery in the Bluetooth module is designed to power the Bluetooth module for 8 hours and remain in standby for approximately 24 hours.

The Bluetooth ring scanner module does not have a power or on-off switch. When the battery is installed, the unit and its accessories are On. Remove the battery to power down or turn off the unit.

Batteries are recharged in the Bluetooth Ring Scanner powered multiple-bay charger and the single-bay charger.

Battery Low Condition

When a battery low condition exists, the battery should be replaced with a fully charged battery as soon as possible.

The ring device LED is amber when there is a battery low condition. The LED blinks amber for .25 seconds every 5 seconds until a Battery Dead condition occurs or the battery is replaced with a fully charged battery.

The Bluetooth module beeper indicates a battery low condition by emitting 4 short high beeps until the battery is replaced or a Battery Dead condition occurs.

Battery Dead Condition

The Bluetooth module is Off (LED is unlit). The Bluetooth module reboots after a fully charged battery is inserted. A ring device must be connected to the module before a module reboot can occur.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

Note: Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. Distances greater than the Line of Sight limit will break the connection. Arriving at the limit may cause unexpected beep and/or LED indications. When the connection is broken, the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module attempts to reconnect with a previously paired device for 30 seconds. Move the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module closer to the target and a disconnected paired device will beep on reconnect.
