Associating the Scanner to the MicroBar
9745 Base Station
Before you start scanning, you must associate your scanner to the
MicroBar 9745 Base Station that the scanner will be sending data to.
The scanner can only communicate with one base at a time, but the base
can communicate with more than one scanner. Any parameters, such as
preambles or postambles, loaded onto the base will be loaded onto the
scanners associated to it.
To associate the scanner to the base
1. Connect the base to your network. For help, see the Sabre 1552
Scanner and MicroBar 9745 Base Station System Manual (Part No.
070086).
2. Install the battery pack in the scanner. The scanner sounds a single
beep. For help installing the battery pack, see the instruction sheet
that came with your battery pack.
3. Scan the bar code on top of the base. The scanner will sound two
beeps, clicks, and one beep.
