NOTES

Quick Reference Guide 1
Using the BC9xx0-BT Base Station
The BC9xx0-BT base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™
BT9500 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.
When the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will transmit a
"broadcast" message." When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured
scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to
that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5
seconds. This functionality is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
When the button is pressed for longer
than 5 seconds, all paired scanners will
be unpaired.
The LEDs signal the BC9xx0-BT status,
as shown in the table below:
LED STATUS
Aux Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered through an external
power supply.
Host Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered by the Host.
Reader
Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.
Red On = the reader battery is charging.
Orange Blinking = reader battery fault - replace battery.
Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see
PRG.
Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted.
Spare
(BC91x0-BT models only)
Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.
Orange Blinking = spare battery fault - replace spare battery.
Red/Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG.
Off = no spare battery in the housing or battery not fully
inserted.
Radio Yellow Blinking = radio activity.
Ethernet
(Ethernet models only) Green Blinking = Ethernet activity.

Installation
2BC 9xx0-BT Cradle
Installation
To set up your BC9xx0-BT cradle you must:
1. Physically install the cradle.
2. Make all system connections.
3. Configure the BC9xx0-BT cradle.
Mounting the BC9xx0-BT Cradle
The cradle package contains the following items:
The cradle can be either mounted on a flat surface for desktop usage or
affixed vertically to a wall.
Mounting Brackets
The cradle comes with two different mounting brackets. The appropriate
bracket is used depending on whether the cradle will be mounted on a hori-
zontal or vertical surface. When shipped, the cradle has the Desktop Mount-
ing Bracket installed. For vertical installation, the Wall Mounting Bracket
must be attached instead.

• Desktop mount bracket has ribs to keep the scanner in place when
the cradle is horizontal
• Wall mount bracket contains bosses to keep the scanner in place
when the cradle is vertical.
To change the Bracket:
1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for
re-use.
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 2)
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
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 sur-
face 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.
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 5).
2. Remove the adhesive strips protecting the mounting tabs on the
cradle, shown in Figure 3.
3. Slide the tabs on the back of the cradle onto the metal plate as
shown in Figure 4.
4. After aligning the tabs, push up to lock into place.
When mounting on drywall, the base should be screwed to a wall stud
or supporting beam for additional support.

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.

System Connections
The BC9xx0-BT cradle provides a multi-interface connector and a power sup-
ply connector as shown:
Connecting and Disconnecting the Interface Cable
The BC9xx0-BT 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 hole
corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle (shown below).
Push down on the clip while unplugging the cable. Refer to the following fig-
