INTRODUCTION

MS9535 Voyager
Voyager series. Besides featuring the patented technologies of automatic trigger
and CodeGate, the VoyagerBT has incorporated the latest Bluetooth™ wireless
technology. This technology gives the customer the freedom of mobility, with
scanning up to 10 meters from the cradle.

VoyagerBT works hand in hand with its cradle. Before normal scanning, the
scanner must establish communications with the cradle by scanning a Bluetooth
address bar code. After communications have been established between the
scanner and cradle, futures bar code scans will be transmitted from the scanner
to the cradle and from the cradle to the host.

The cradle of the VoyagerBT also works as a battery charger for the scanner.
When resting in the cradle, the scanner can reach a fully charged state in 2.5
hours. When fully charged, the scanner can provide up to 12,000 scans. For
power saving, the scanner can be put into a full sleep mode by depressing the
CodeGate button for 5 seconds after the laser has shut down. In this mode, the
scanner can remain powered for up to 35 hours before the batteries require
recharging. To wake-up the scanner, simply depress the CodeGate button, and
the scanner will resume normal operation.

Voyager

without the need for unnecessary heavy lifting by customers or checkout
personnel, making for added convenience. It can be used in applications
including supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping clubs, retailers, light warehouse
and manufacturing.

QUICK START

1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the 10-pin modular jack on the

bottom of the cradle. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made.

2. Connect the plug of the power supply into the power jack on the bottom of

the cradle.

3. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. The blue LED on the rear of the

cradle will stay on.



4. Pick up the scanner and scan the Bluetooth address code on the cradle; you

will hear 3 continuous beeps. After 4 seconds, both the blue LEDs of the
charger cradle and the scanner flashes, followed by 2 combination beeps.
This means the communication between the cradle and the scanner has
been established successfully.

Bluetooth Address Code*

*This is a configuration bar code attached on the cradle. Before the normal scanning,

you must establish a communication between the scanner and the receiver. Please go
to Page 8 for more details.

Caution:

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must
meet the requirements for SELV ( Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.

To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the
power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

QUICK START (CONTINUED)

5. Scan a bar code anywhere within 10 meters from the cradle. The scanner

will beep once and flash the white LED. The blue LED of the cradle will also
flash once, indicating that the bar code has been successfully read and
transmitted.

1. Auto-trigger mode
When the scanner is at rest in the cradle, it is in auto-trigger mode. While in

this mode, present a bar code in the scanning field and the data is
automatically decoded and transmitted.

2. CodeGate mode
When the scanner is removed from the cradle, it is in CodeGate mode.

While in this mode, scanned bar code data is only decoded and transmitted
when the CodeGate button is pressed.

ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCANNER AND CRADLE

Before the normal scanning starts, Bluetooth communication between the
scanner and cradle must be established.

The communication between the scanner and cradle can be established by
scanning the Bluetooth address code located on the cradle. The pairing process
takes a few seconds and can be confirmed by a solid blue LED on the cradle and
a solid blue LED on the scanner, when the laser is activated.

Dynamic Pair Function

The scanner can “connect” to any cradle by scanning the Bluetooth address code
attached to that cradle. This is referred as “Dynamic Pair Function”.

Each scanner will only communicate with the last cradle address scanned. Once
a cradle is paired with a scanner, another scanner can not be paired with that
cradle until the connection is broken. The connection can be easily broken by
placing the unit into sleep mode by holding down the CodeGate button for three
(3) seconds.

For example:
Scanner #1 has established communication with Cradle #1. If you make it scan

the Bluetooth address code on Cradle #2, its connection with Cradle #1 will break
and switch to Cradle #2. At this time, if Scanner #2 scans the Bluetooth address
code on Cradle #2 again, it will razz, indicating that the communication cannot be
established since Cradle #2 already connects to Scanner #1.

RangeGate
The operation range of the Bluetooth communication is 10 meters between the

scanner and cradle. If scans are made out of this range, the communication will
break and the blue LED will flash. At this time, RangeGate becomes active, and
the bar codes scanned during this communication loss will be stored in the
SRAM of the scanner instead of being lost. Once communication is re­established, the stored data will be transferred to the host and normal scanning
will resume.

Inventory Mode (specific to MS9535-5M)
For light warehousing applications, Metrologic offers the MS9535-5M VoyagerBT

with extended memory and a unique feature called Inventory Mode. This mode
allows a customer to store approximately 2500 bar codes (length dependent)
with quantity information to facilitate inventory taking. This information can then
be transmitted in batch to the host by scanning a specific bar code or putting the
unit back into the cradle. For the bar codes associated with this mode, please
consult the MetroSelect programming guide.

11

CHARGING THE SCANNER

Prior to performing any operation with the scanner, make sure it has been
charged.

The following explains how to determine if the scanner needs recharging:

1. During operation, the scanner gives two beeps after a successful scan.
This indicates the scanner has low power.

2. When a bar code is presented to the scanner and a scan line is not
activated, or the CodeGate button is pressed and the laser comes on for
brief moment. This indicates the scanner has automatically switched to
normal sleep mode due to low power.

3. When the CodeGate button is pressed and a scan line is not present.
This indicates the scanner has no power.

Before charging the scanner, it is suggested that the communication between the
scanner and the cradle be established first.

To charge the scanner, place the unit into the cradle. The amber LED on the
scanner begins to flash indicating the charing process has begun.

A complete charging process takes about 2.5 hours. The amber LED of the
scanner will turn steady when charging is complete. If charging the scanner for
the first time, it is suggested to keep the scanner on cradle for another 30
minutes after the amber LED turns steady.

Manufacturer’s Suggestion:

If the scanner is not be used for a long period of time, it is suggested that the unit
be placed into normal or full sleep mode to save power. For normal sleep mode,
scan the configuration bar codes in the Bluetooth Programming Addendum (00­02024A). For full sleep mode, after the laser shuts off, depress the CodeGate
button and hold for 3 seconds, the scanner will give a long beep and switch into
full sleep mode. To wake-up the scanner from either mode, depress the
CodeGate button. After an automatic reset, the scanner is ready for normal
operation.

12

CHARGING THE SCANNER (CONTINUED)

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries:

• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries

•

Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations

•

Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects

•

Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet

•

Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries,
to each other with any metal object.

•

Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong
impacts or shocks

•

Do not disassemble or modify batteries

Caution:

Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacture. Dispose of used batteries according to the
recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the
batteries are to be discarded.
