SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Audible 
When in operation the StratosS provides audible feedback that indicates the status of the unit and the current scan.   
Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone) plus three volume settings.   
To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone & Volume section of this manual. 
One Beep      
When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once 
(the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep).  The scanner is now ready to scan. 
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do 
so).  If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read. 
Razzberry Tone      
This is a failure indicator.  Refer to failure modes on page 31.  
Three Beeps - during operation      
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three 
times.  The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode.  Upon exiting configuration 
mode, the scanner will beep three times and the white LED will stop flashing.  
When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.   
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short pause, 
a high tone and a low tone.  This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the 
scanner. 
Three Beeps - on power up      
This is a failure indicator.  Refer to failure modes on page 31. 
Descending Tone     
The scanner will emit a descending tone when the microprocessor is about to Flash upgrade. 
Ascending Tone       
The scanner will emit an ascending tone when the interface coprocessor is about to Flash upgrade. 
Visual  
White and blue LEDs are located near the bottom corner of the vertical 
output window.  When the scanner is ON, the flashing or constant, 
illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosS and the 
current scan. 
No White or Blue LED 
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.  
They are also not illuminated when all lasers are turned off.
