Auto-reconnect Parameters

Auto-reconnect Parameters

When in SPP Central, Cradle Host mode, or for Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when it disconnects due to losing radio communication.
If auto-reconnect fails due to page timeouts, the scanner lights the red LED, the scanner sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high), and enters low power mode. To restart the auto-reconnect process, pull the scanner trigger.
If auto-reconnect fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the scanner sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Wireless Beeper Definitions) and deletes the remote pairing address. Scan a pairing barcode to attempt a new connection to the remote device.
If you scan a barcode during the auto-reconnect sequence, a transmission error beep sequence sounds and the data does not transmit to the host. After re-connection, normal scanning operation returns. For error beep sequence definitions, see Wireless Beeper Definitions.
The scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Central mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between modes, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to the last connected device in that mode.
Scanning a Radio Communications Host Type to select another Bluetooth host resets the radio which disables scanning. It takes several seconds for the scanner to re-initialize the radio and enable scanning.
