Introduction

The BC9xx0™ Base Station/Charger

The BC9xx0 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ 9500 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 RS-232, USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts. The BC91x0 models also provide a spare battery charger slot.

The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.

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 dis-

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

labels available in the corresponding features section for your inter-

code face. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration

Parameters" st

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on pa require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prio 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.

To change the Bracket:

1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for reuse.

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 9) 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

When mounting on drywall, the base should be screwed to a wall stud or supporting beam for additional support.

PowerScan™ PD9530/PBT9500/PM9500

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.

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.

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 11).

2. Remove the adhesive strips protecting the m shown in Figure 3.

3. Slide the tabs on the back of the cradle onto the metal plate as shown in Figure 4.

The BC9xx0 can be connected to a Host by means of a multi-interface cable, which must be simply plugged into the Host connector, visible on the front panel of the cradle.

To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the

corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle. Push

hole down on the clip while unplugging the cable. Refer to the following figures:
