Getting Started
Turn off the computer’s power before connecting
the base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is
connected and powered up, put the imager in the
base to establish a link. The green LED on the base
flashes to indicate the imager’s battery is charging.

Reading Techniques
The view finder
projects an aiming
beam that should
be centered over
the barcode. (The
4820/4820i can be
positioned in any
direction for a
good read.)
Hold the imager over the barcode, pull the trigger,
and center the aiming beam on the barcode.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the imager close to smaller
barcodes, and farther away from large barcodes to
get a proper read.
If the barcode is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the imager at an angle so the
barcode can be scanned.
Note: If the imager beeps 3 times when scanning a
barcode, the link has not been established.
If the imager beeps once, the link has been
established.

Keyboard Country
Scan the Program Keyboard Country barcode
below, then scan the numeric barcode(s) from
page 12, then the Save barcode to program the
keyboard for your country. As a general rule, the
following characters are not supported by the
imager for countries other than the United States:
@ | $ # { } [ ] = / ‘ \ < > ~.

Open Link
Scan the Open Link barcode, then place the imager
into the base to establish a link. Placing a different
imager into the base establishes a new link and the
old imager is unlinked.

Override Locked Imager
If you need to replace a broken or lost imager that
is linked to a base, scan the Override Locked
Imager barcode with a new imager, and place that
imager in the base. The locked link will be
overridden; the broken or lost imager’s link with the
base will be removed, and the new imager will be
linked.
Unlinking the Imager
If the base has an imager linked to it, that imager
must be unlinked before a new imager can be
linked. Once the previous imager is unlinked, it will
no longer communicate with the base. Scan the
Unlink Imager barcode to unlink an imager.

Trigger
The following barcodes will allow you to use the
reader in Manual Trigger mode (need to press the
trigger to read) or Presentation mode (the reader is
activated when it “sees” a barcode).
Streaming Presentation™ (4820/4820i)
Note: Streaming presentation mode applies only to
units with advanced illumination. Units with
advanced illumination have a software
revision of 31205481-027 or higher.
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the imager
leaves the scan illumination on all the time and
continuously searches for barcodes.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the imager can
read the
same barcode a second time. Setting a
reread delay protects against accidental rereads of
the same barcode.
Suffix
If you want a carriage return after the barcode, scan
the Add CR Suffix barcode. To add a tab after the
barcode, scan the Add Tab Suffix barcode.
Otherwise, scan the Remove Suffix barcode to
remove the suffixes.

Add Code ID Prefix to all Symbologies
Scan the following barcode if you wish to add a
Code ID prefix to all symbologies at once.
Note: For complete list of Code IDs, see the User’s
Guide for your product at our website,
www.honeywell.com/aidc.
Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes
are contained within the scanned data, the imager
transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts
of these function codes are provided in your User’s
Guide. When the imager is in keyboard wedge
mode, the scan code is converted to a key code
before it is transmitted.
