About the Reader
Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings,
custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming bar
codes within this guide.
Several models of the Gryphon are available, and are covered in this manual:
•Gryphon I GD4132 - Corded linear imager barcode reader
•Gryphon I GM4102 - Cordless linear imager barcode reader with Datalogic
STAR™.
•Gryphon I BT 4102 - Model with Bluetooth options.
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™
Configuration application which is downloadable from the Datalogic website
listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program
allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a
serial or USB cable and can also create configuration barcodes to print.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve the illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher
scan efficiency. Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergo
nomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable handling during
extended periods of use.
See "Interface Selection" on page 30 for a listing and descriptions of available
interface sets by model type.

Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if
exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
•Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
•Do not connect the positive terminal and negativ

•Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.
•Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it

As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over
time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the
battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI
battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words,
the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge / charge cycles
before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging /
recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging.

Introduction
Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status
should be avoided.
Only in case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended to
partially recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium
level.
As a reference, run a fast rec
harge for 20 minutes every three months on unused products
to avoid any performance deterioration of the cell.
The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and number of charges, etc.,
after which they should be removed from service, especially in mission critical
applications. Do not continue to use a battery showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / dispos

Programming Barcodes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After
scanning the interface barcode, you can select other options and customize
your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcode labels
available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable
settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using Barcodes" starting
on page 39.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 35, require
only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the
er to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an
read
ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in
Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the
ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
Programming the Reader
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions
carefully when configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and
user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available on the CD-ROM provided wi
Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a
PC. Th

The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all
configurations. For all interfaces (except RS-232) a power supply is recommended but not necessary, because the base can be powered from the Host.
When
the base is powered from the Host, select a slow charge rate.
Configuring the Base Station
The base charger/station may be configured in desk application to hold the
reader in two different positions, either a horizontal or standing position, in
order to provide the most comfortable use depending on needs.

Changing the Base Station Position

Only
Standing,
or Vertical
Horizontal
The base station is configured by installing one of two sets of mechanical parts
that come with the cordless kit. The default mounts (shown below) provide
three options: vertical (wall) mounting, standing (45°), or horizontal mounting
with a higher mechanical retention of the scanner. Use the other mounts only
for horizontal mounting, with lower retention of the scanner. The different
parts may be interchanged to customize retention preferences.
A tool such as a rigid pen or a flat screwdriver can be used to change
the mounts. Do not allow it to touch the contacts.
1. Insert the appropriate parts for the desired base station position, as shown
below.

Securing the DC Power Cord (Optional)
The DC power cord for the adapter can be secured to the bottom of the base in
order to maximize the mechanical retention of the cable itself. The routing of
the power cord can be changed to accommodate the base station positioning:
horizontal, stand or wall mounting. The cables can be looped around to the
front of the Base Station, or fed directly out the back of the Base Station, as
shown in Figure 8.

Please refer to the arrows depicted on the bottom of the base when placing the
cables, detailed in Figure 9.

Linking the Reader to a Base Station
RF Devices
For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the base. To link the handheld and the base, press
it and place it on the base. If the reader was previously linked to another base,
you must first scan the Unlink action command before re-linking to the new
base.

BT Models only
Remember: The mandatory condition for establishing a new linking between a
BT handheld and a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the
same security configuration. A successful link is indicated by three ascending
tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low tone indicates the link attempt
was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash after this tone indicates no Base
Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after this tone indicates that
more than one Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three
LED flashes after this tone indicate a security error.
