Battery Safety
To install, charge and/or do 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.
NOTE
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,
WAR NI NG
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.
14Gryphon™ I GD4100/GM4100
CAUTION
Setting Up the Reader
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.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
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.

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.
NOTE
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.
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.

Connect the Base Station
Figure 6 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.
NOTE
Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Station.
Gryphon Mobile 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.
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 6). Then
connect to an AC Adapter, and plug the AC power cord into the (wall) outlet.

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 7 on page 23.

Host Connection.
Verify before connection that the reader’s cable type is compatible with your
host equipment. Most connections plug directly into the host device as shown below. Keyboard
Wedge interface cables have a ‘Y’ connection where its female end mates with the male end of
the cable from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port on the terminal/PC.

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 164) and reception is enabled (s
Mode Timeout" on page 37).
The button can also be used to "force device connection" via the Datalogic Aladdin Software
tool (available for free down

Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of default features standard. After scanning the
interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your
reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in
corresponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing and Symbologies
chapters of this manual.
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the "Restore Custom Default Configuration"on
page 30, require only the scan of that single label to enac
labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed
scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the
reader is in Programming Mode, you can 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.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.
