NOTES
Quick Reference Guide 1
Using the BC9xx0 Base Station
The BC9xx0 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ PM9X00
readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and
transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS232,
USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts.
The BC9x60 models also allow multi cradle layouts through an RS485 Network. For this network connection refer to the Programming Reference
Guide.The BC91x0 models provide a spare battery charger slot.
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.
When the button is pressed, the cradle will transmit a "broadcast" message.
When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to that base and within radio
range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5 seconds. This functionality
is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
The LEDs signal the BC9xx0 status, as
shown.
LED STATUS
Aux
Yellow On = BC9xx0 is powered through an external power
supply.
Host Yellow On = BC9xx0 is powered by the Host.
Reader
Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.
Red On = the reader battery is charging.
Orange Blinking = reader battery fault - replace battery.
Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG.
Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted.
Spare
(BC91x0 models only)
Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.
Orange Blinking = spare battery fault - replace spare battery.
Red/Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG.
Off = no spare battery in the housing or battery not fully
inserted.
Radio Yellow Blinking = radio activity.
Ethernet
(Ethernet models only)
Green Blinking = Ethernet activity.
Installation
2 BC 9xx0 Cradle
Installation
To set up your BC9xx0 cradle you must:
1. Physically install the cradle.
2. Make all system connections.
3. Configure the BC9xx0 cradle.
Mounting the BC9xx0 Cradle
The cradle package contains the following items:
The cradle can be either mounted on a flat surface for desktop usage or
affixed vertically to a wall.
Mounting Brackets
The cradle comes with two different mounting brackets. The appropriate
bracket is used depending on whether the cradle will be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface. When shipped, the cradle has the Desktop Mounting Bracket installed. For vertical installation, the Wall Mounting Bracket
must be attached instead.

Quick Reference Guide 3
• Desktop mount bracket has ribs to keep the scanner in place when
the cradle is horizontal
• Wall mount bracket contains bosses to keep the scanner in place
when the cradle is vertical.
To change the Bracket:
1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for
re-use.
2. Carefully lift off the Bracket.
3. Install the other bracket by first slipping the end tab into place on
the base station, then easing the tabs (shown in Figure 1 on page 2)
into place on the sides.
4. Replace the screw to secure the Bracket to the Base Station.

Permanent Mounting
For either desktop or wall mounting, the cradle can be fastened directly to a
flat surface using screws (not included).
Figure 3. Base Station Bottom
Mounting for Portable Use
If portability of the cradle is required, the metal plate must be used. There are
two ways this can be done: (1) by first mounting the metal plate on a flat surface so the cradle can be slid off and on, or (2) mounting the metal plate onto
the back of the base station and then screwing both to the desired surface.
Mounting the Metal Plate
1. Affix the metal plate onto the desired mounting surface using the
two center screw holes (see Figure 4 on page 5).
2. Remove the adhesive strips protecting the mounting tabs on the
cradle, shown in Figure 3.
3. Slide the tabs on the back of the cradle onto the metal plate as
shown in Figure 4.
4. After aligning the tabs, push up to lock into place.
When mounting on drywall, the base should be screwed to a wall stud
or supporting beam for additional support.

For additional security on wall mounting, it is strongly recommended
that the cradle be secured into place using two auxiliary screws
through the mounting holes on the side.
