Battery SafetyIntroduction
Product Reference Guide

As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity
deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is
difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at
500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge /
charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging /
recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging.
Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status should be
avoided.
Only in case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended to partially
recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.
As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes ev
er
y three months on unused products to avoid
any performance deterioration of the cell.
The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they
should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to
use a battery showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and
replaced.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from
the device in compliance with European
Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and
China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.
IntroductionProgramming the Reader

Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"
starting on page 37.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page34, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require
the reader to be placed in Programming
Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before
scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available on the CD-
ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to
program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical
interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected
communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a soft
ware upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

Changing the Base Station Position
The base station is configured by installing one of two sets of mechanical parts that come with
the cordless kit. The default mounts (shown below) provide three options: vertical (wall)
mounting, standing (45°), or horizontal mounting with a higher mechanical retention of the
scanner. Use the other mounts only for horizontal mounting, with lower retention of the
scanner. The different parts may be interchanged to customize retention preferences.
A tool such as a rigid pen or a flat screwdriver can be used to change the
mounts. Do not allow it to touch the contacts.
1.Insert the appropriate parts for the desired base station position, as shown below.
Standing,

ONLY
CAUTION
To ensure best contact and performance, do not intermix the parts of the two
different mount sets.

Connecting the Base Station
Figure 7
shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off
the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipm
ent (if necessary) before
proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Station.
The Gryphon GBT4400 can be set up to require a PIN code when connecting to the
host. If you are connecting to a system that uses a custom security PIN, follow the
procedure in
"Connecting the Base when Security Pin is Enabled" on page
25
. For
information on how to configure this feature, see
"BT Security Mode" starting on page
247
.
Base Station Connection and Routing:
Fully insert the Power Cable and Interface (I/F) Cable
connectors into their respective ports in the underside of the Base Station (see
Figure 7
). Then
connect to an AC Adapter, and plug the AC power cord into the (wall) outlet.
Gryphon Wireless can also be Powered by the Terminal. When powered by the Ter-
minal, the battery charger is automatically set as Slow charge.
For some specific interfaces or hosts or lengths of cable
,
the use of an external
power supply may be recommended for full recharging capability (see
"Technical
Specifications" on page293
for more details).

Securing the DC Power Cord (Optional)
The DC power cord for the adapter can be secured to the bottom of the base in order to
maximize the mechanical retention of the cable itself. The routing of the power cord can be
changed to accommodate the base station positioning: horizontal, stand or wall mounting. The
cables can be looped around to the front of the Base Station, or fed directly out the back of the
Base Station, as shown in
Figure 8 on page 23
.

Linking the Reader to a Base Station
RF Devices
For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the
base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake it and place it on the base. If
the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink action
command before re-linking to the new base.
Unlnk
Unlnk
BT Models only
Remember: The mandatory condition for establishing a new linking between a BT handheld
and a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the same security configuration. A
successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low tone
indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash after this tone indicates no
Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after this tone indicates that more than one
Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes after this tone
indicate a security error.
