USING GRYPHON™ M SERIES READERS
The Gryphon™ M series reader, paired with an OM-Gryphon™ cradle, builds a
Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of
barcoded data.
Gryphon™ M readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim
and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light bar
emitted from the reading window. This bar must cover the entire code.
READING ANGLE
Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode
to avoid direct reflections, which impair the reading performance, see the figure
below.
Successful reading is obtained by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot.
OK Not Advised
To start using your Gryphon™ M reading system you must:
1. Connect an OM-Gryphon™ cradle to the Host. For installation and
connection information see the OM-Gryphon™ Quick Reference Manual.
2. Charge the Gryphon™ M battery using an OM-Gryphon™ / C-Gryphon™
charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes
3.5 hours with NiMh battery models.
3. Configure the reader as described in this Quick Reference manual.
4. Configure the OM-Gryphon™ cradle. See OM-Gryphon™ Configuration in
the “OM-Gryphon™ Quick Reference”.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
By placing the reader onto the OM-Gryphon™ cradle or C-Gryphon™ battery
charger it is possible to charge the Gryphon™ M batteries. Make sure the
charging LED goes on.
The LEDs positioned on the cradle signal the charge 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.

After many recharging cycles NiMh and NiCd batteries may tend to lose their
operating autonomy. This condition can be overcome by positioning the
Gryphon™ M onto the OM-Gryphon™ / C- Gryphon™ charger and pressing the
“battery reconditioning” button.

When the above procedure is no longer effective, the batteries must be
changed. To change the batteries of your reader, unscrew the battery cover
screw, replace the old batteries with new ones, then insert the cover in the
handle and screw it back into place. (See the following figures).
WARNING
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or
expose to high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use
specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery
is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the
batteries as required by the relevant laws in force.
GRYPHON™ M CONFIGURATION
When the OM-Gryphon™ cradle is connected and powered, configure the
Gryphon™ M by reading the following codes in the given sequence and follow the
instructions.
Note: for the numeric code selection of step 3, use the table at the end of this
Quick Reference.

5. Read the Bind code to pair the Gryphon™ M to the OM-Gryphon™
cradle.
The reader is dedicated to the cradle. Any previously bound reader will
be excluded.
To connect several readers to the same cradle see the following section
"Using Multiple Readers with Same Cradle".

The green LED on the Gryphon™ M will blink: the reader is ready to be
positioned onto the cradle.
6. Firmly position the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will
be emitted, signaling that the OM-Gryphon™ cradle has been paired to
the Gryphon™ M, and the green LED on the reader will go off.
YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.
7. Configure the OM-Gryphon™ cradle, refer to the “OM-Gryphon™ Quick
Reference”.

USING MULTIPLE READERS WITH SAME
CRADLE
If you want to use several readers associated with the same cradle, you must
first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously described
configuration procedure).
Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the
configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join.
5. Join
Ì$+RN1$-NÎ
The green LED on the Gryphon™ M will blink: the reader is ready to be
positioned onto the cradle. Complete step 6.
CAUTION
If the cradle is not Bound to a reader, its address assumes
a random value, which can cause conflicts and malfunctions
to other cradles within its range.
