USING OM-GRYPHON™ RADIO CRADLE

The OM-Gryphon™ cradle, paired with one Gryphon™ M series reader, builds a
Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission o

f

barcoded data.

OM-Gryphon™ can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232, Wedge or
Pen emulation cable. All models are suited for single-cradle layouts.

The LEDs signal the OM-Gryphon™ status, as described in the following table:

LED STATUS

Power on /
Data

Yellow On = OM-Gryphon™ is powered.
Yellow Blinking = OM-Gryphon™ receives data and
commands from the Host or the reader.

Charging

Red On = the battery charge is in progress.

Red Blinking = the battery reconditioning is in progress.
Charge
completed

Green On = the battery is completely charged.

To setup your OM-Gryphon™ cradle you must:

1. Make all system connections.

2. Configure the OM-Gryphon™ cradle.

BATTERY SELECTION

Battery selection is required only when the Gryphon™ M reader has an Alkaline
battery and you want to use OM-Gryphon™ either for serial configuration, software
upgrades or to hold Gryphon™ M. Since this type of battery must not be charged it
is necessary to disable the OM-Gryphon™ charge function by following the
procedure:

With the Gryphon™ M read the following code:

1.

Alkaline

Ì$+RN4$-]Î

The green LED on the Gryphon™ M will blink, signaling the reader has

accepted the command.

2.

Place the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds. The green LED
turns off and a short beep is emitted.

To enable the charge function repeat step 1 and 2 substituting the "Alkaline" code
with the following one:

NiMh

Ì$+RN6$-gÎ

CAUTION

Attempts to charge Alkaline batteries could cause leakage of
liquid, generation of heat or, in extreme cases, explosion. If
using Alkaline batteries, carefully follow the procedure above
to avoid damage.
