Update
The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in
this manual or via the ScanMaster software.
This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup
barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.
Configuration Mode
1) Hold down the [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a
long beep and its LED will come on-off.
2) Read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will
become flashing red after reading the barcode.
3) Read more setup barcodes… Most of the setup barcodes are normal, and the scanner will
respond with two beeps (low-high tone). For special setup barcodes, it requires reading more
than one setup barcode to complete the setting.
4) Read the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will
become flashing red after reading the barcode.
5) The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will
respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off.
Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3610 dongle
by having the scanner read 3610-related setup barcodes or using serial
commands.

1662 L/1664 Barcode Scanner User Guide
Working Mode
Upon powering up, the scanner will try to establish a connection with 3610 or a computer with
Bluetooth®wireless technology. Refer to Chapter 3 - Set up a WPAN Connection for details. The
connection between the scanners and 3610 is made easy and reliable. Now, it also supports
Bluetooth® SPP Master Mode as an alternative. Refer to 2.3 Bluetooth®SPP Master.
Note: If USB Virtual COM or Bluetooth®SPP is selected for output interface, the host can
directly send serial commands to configure the scanner. For example, run
HyperTerminal.exe and type the 6-digit command located under each setup
barcode.
