Hands-free RFID

Configure the relevant parameters correctly to allow reading RFID tags when the scanner is in hands-free mode.
The scanner is in hands-free mode when it is placed in an Intellistand (corded) or Presentation Cradle (cordless). In this mode, the scanner starts in an active state and automatically reads RFID tags within its radio frequency (RF) field of view.
RFID Scanning in Hands-free Mode
Hand holds the scanner and presses the programmable button. Concentric lines indicate the RFID reader's field of view.
The scanner beeps while the scan LED flashes green and the RFID LED momentarily turns off to indicate a successful tag read. If the scanner does not read any new RFID tags within the RFID Hands-Free Idle Timeout, it reduces power consumption by polling for tags once per second for a specified period. If no new RFID tags are read while polling, the cordless
DS8288
 scanner stops reading and advances to an idle state.
To wake the scanner and start reading RFID tags, present an item in the scanner’s wakeup field of view or press the Programmable Button (default configuration is Toggle Automatic RFID).
