See Base Station Indications (GBT4400 Models ONLY) on page 289 for more specific details on the LEDs.

Base Button

The Base contains a button which is used primarily to perform a paging function. Pressing the

button causes a sound signal to be emitted by all scanners linked with this Base, as long as the scanner is awake (see Powerdown Timeout on page 244) and reception is enabled (see LED and Beeper Indicators on page 88). The button can also be used to "force device connection" via the

Datalogic Aladdin Software tool (available for free download from the Datalogic website). See the Aladdin Online Help for details.

For the BT model, press quickly (less than one second) to initiate paging. Press and hold (longer than one second) to enable radio linking. This will make the base discoverable from a BT master.

Battery Safety

Battery Safety

WARNING

CAUTION

To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in this manual.

Before installing the Battery, read “Battery Safety” on this and the following pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.

Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery is used in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

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 negative terminal of the battery pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.

Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.

Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.

Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range.

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.

Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations.

Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cookware.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.

Introduction

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,

The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries is one to three years, depending 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 that is showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced. For most applications, batteries should be replaced after one year of service to maintain customer satisfaction and minimize safety concerns.

Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the

instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters" starting on page 35.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 32, require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

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 CDROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.

Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same.

RF Models

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.

Standing

Gryphon™ I GD44XX/GBT4400

Configuring the Base Station

Changing the Base Station Position

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.

Connecting the Base Station

Figure 7 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Station.

The Gryphon GBT4400 can be set up to require a PIN code when connecting to the host. If you are connecting to a system that uses a custom security PIN, follow the procedure in "Connecting the Base when Security Pin is Enabled" on page 23. For information on how to configure this feature, see "BT Security Mode" starting on page 241.

Base Station Connection and Routing: Fully insert the Power Cable and Interface (I/F) Cable connectors into their respective ports in the underside of the Base Station (see Figure 7). Then connect to an AC Adapter, and plug the AC power cord into the (wall) outlet.

Gryphon Wireless can also be Powered by the Terminal. The external power supply is recommended but not necessary. When powered by the Terminal, the battery charger is automatically set as Slow charge.

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 on page 21.

Figure 8. Options for routing the DC cord

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

Connecting the Base when Security Pin is Enabled

When connecting the Base to a system that has a custom Security Pin enabled, follow the steps below in the order shown:

1.Power down the host system.

2.Connect the appropriate interface cable into the Base as shown in Figure 10.

3.Place the reader in the Base.

4.Power up the host. The reader will link to the Base

5.When the host completely powers up, a new custom Security Pin Code may be sent to the reader and Base, depending on host configuration. Contact Datalogic Technical Support for more information.

If you want to change security settings or set up a PIN, see "BT Security

Mode" starting on page 241.

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 the trigger to wake 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.

Unlnk

Unlnk

Unlink

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.

Linking a BT Reader to a PC

The reader can optionally be linked to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile, in either server mode or client mode.

Linking to a PC in Server Mode (BT Slave Mode)

To link a BT reader in server mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, follow these steps:

1.Install any drivers provided with the Bluetooth adapter.

2.Scan the bar code below to make the scanner visible to the host computer.

Link to a PC in Server Mode

3.Use the host computer’s Bluetooth manager to “Discover new devices” and select "Datalogic Scanner." If you receive an error message, it may be necessary to disable security on the device.

4.Select “connect” on the PC to link the reader to the PC. Use an RS-232 terminal program to see incoming data on the port designated by the computer's Bluetooth manager.

Configuring the Base Station

Linking to a PC in Client Mode (BT Master Mode)

The reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile. To do this, follow these steps:

1.Ensure the PC or terminal can network with Bluetooth devices and that it is powered on.

2.Ensure that a COM port is assigned under Services within the Bluetooth setup menu.

3.Create a Link label that contains the address of the PC Bluetooth adapter.

The Bluetooth address can be found under "Properties" within in the

Bluetooth setup menu.

NOTE

The link label is a Code 128 function 3 label with the following format:

<FN3 char>LnkB<12 character Bluetooth address>

4. Scan the link label you created in step 3.

Power Off

Shuts off power to the BT handheld until next trigger pull. This function only applies to the BT model.

Interface Selection

Interface Selection

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1 starting on page 28 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate bar code in that section to configure your system’s correct interface type.

Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

General Purpose Models

Retail Point of Sale Models

RS-232

RS-232

RS-232 OPOS

RS-232 OPOS

USB-COM

USB

Keyboard Wedge

IBM 46XX

Wand Emulation (BT only)

Setting the Interface

Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appropriate interface type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Table 1starting on page 28) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scanning an interface selection bar code.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows programming with bar codes.
