1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 LYNX™ BT DESCRIPTION
The Lynx™ BT Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive,
rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as
well as the front office.
Omnidirectional
Operating
Decoding
FLASH MEMORY
Lynx™ BT communicates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and uses the Serial Port Profile
(SPP). Thanks to a Bluetooth® device, such as a Bluetooth® dongle, the reader can
send data to a remote Host such as a PC, PDS, printer, etc.
The OM-1000 BT cradle is provided in the package to build a Cordless Reading
System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. It can be
connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable. The
OM-1000 BT also allows charging the Lynx™ BT batteries.
To read a symbol you simply aim the reader and pull the
trigger. Since the orientation of the symbol is not important, the
Lynx™ reader is a powerful, omni-directional device.
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Lynx™ reliably decodes all major
1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D
matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as
POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from
decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.
Flash technology allows to upgrade the Lynx™ reader as new
symbologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.

1.2 LYNX™ BT BATTERIES
To begin using your Lynx™ BT you must charge its batteries using the OM-1000 cradle
or the C-1000 battery charger as described in the following paragraph. You can install
Li-Ion batteries in the Lynx™ BT.
Battery Charging
The first operation to perform is to connect the OM-1000 or the C-1000 to the power
converter and firmly insert the Lynx™ BT into the cradle to charge the batteries. The
red Charging LED will light. A full charge takes about 3.5 hours. The Batt. Full LED will
light when charging is completed. Press the reader trigger to turn it on.

2 INSTALLATION
Lynx™ Bt can operate according to two different installations:
• Lynx™ BT paired with OM-1000 BT cradle (see par. 2.1);
• Lynx™ BT communicating with a Bluetooth
par. 2.2).
The green LED and / or the beeper always indicate the reader radio connection
status (see par. 10.1):
− the radio connection is signaled by the green LED through a single blink at
regular intervals, while if the reader radio is disconnected the LED emits two
short blinks at regular intervals;
− during the initialization procedure, if the radio connection attempt is successful,
the reader emits four ascending tones;
− the radio disconnection is signaled by four descending tones.
2.1 OPERATING LYNX™ BT WITH OM-1000 BT
To begin using your Lynx™ BT reader you must charge the Lynx™ BT battery
using OM-1000™ BT as described in par. 1.2. A full charge takes about 3.5
hours with Li-Ion batteries.
The Lynx™ BT, paired with an OM-1000 BT cradle, builds a Cordless Reading
System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data.

2.2 OPERATING LYNX™ BT WITH BLUETOOTH® DEVICE
During typical operation a physical radio channel is shared by a group of devices that
are synchronized to a common clock and frequency hopping pattern. One device
provides the synchronization reference and is known as the Master. All other devices
are known as Slaves. A group of devices synchronized in this fashion form a piconet.
Most Bluetooth® devices can be both Master or Slave. The Master will be the first unit
to initiate the connection (page procedure).
Some devices can only be Slaves (i.e. printers). They can only wait for a Bluetooth
Master device to initiate a connection with them.
Lynx™ BT can be either Master or Slave. As Master it can initiate a connection with
only one Slave device.

2.2.1 Lynx™ BT as Slave
Once set as Slave, a Lynx™ BT reader requires no particular configuration for
communication, however some radio parameters can be set to increase system
performance and data transmission security. At startup the reader can only wait for
the Master to initialize the radio communication.
The following is a general procedure recommended for Lynx™ BT Slave
applications:
1. Power up the remote Bluetooth® Master device (example Laptop or PC).
2. Power up the Lynx™ BT reader within radio range (10 meters).
Any modifications to the radio configuration should be made at this time before
the radio connection takes place.
3. From the remote Bluetooth
(according to the procedure given in the documentation of the Bluetooth
device), to recognize the Lynx™ BT reader(s) within radio range.
4. Check that "Lynx BTx00 " is shown among the discovered devices.
5. Request to open an SPP connection with Lynx™ BT, making sure to disable any
required PIN and/or pairing parameters. Lynx™ BT is always discoverable and
connectable without any required PIN.

2.2.2 Lynx™ BT as Master
Once set as Master, a Lynx™ BT reader must be configured with the address of the
Slave device to which it wants to communicate.
By default, at startup the reader initializes the communication with the Slave. If the
connection is successful, the reader can send barcodes to the Slave device. Radio
connections can also be managed manually as described in pars., Errore. L'origine
riferimento non è stata trovata. and Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata
trovata..
During the request of radio connection or disconnection with a remote Bluetooth®
Slave device, the reader emits a series of ticks and short blinks of the green LED.

2.2.3 Data Transmission
The transmission of data can be transparent (no ACK/NACK protocol), when each
character is read and immediately sent to the Host (default value). Otherwise, data
transmission can be with flow control (with ACK/NACK protocol), when, after each
reading, Lynx™ BT waits for an acknowledge that the remote Host received the data
before reading and sending the following code.
2.2.4 Wedge Emulation Utility
This utility is provided on the CD-ROM. When using the Wedge Emulation Utility, it is
advised to correctly set the terminators depending on the expected format for the
program in which the data will be collected.

3.1 AIMING SYSTEM
The LYNX™ reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras.
The aiming system creates a field of view where the code is to be positioned:
Figure 6 - Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming
system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get
a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther
away from the code.
