Night Mode

This parameter allows you to easily switch to a quiet mode in order to use the pager motor with the beeper off.
Entering Night Mode enables Decode Pager Motor, and disables Beep After Good Decode.
Enter and exit Night Mode in one of two ways:
  • If Night Mode Trigger is enabled, you can use the trigger to toggle between entering and exiting Night Mode. To do this, point the scanner away from a barcode and press the trigger until the beam goes off. Hold the trigger for an additional 5 seconds. Note that after decoding a barcode, holding the trigger for an additional 5 seconds has no effect.
Also, note the following scanner behavior regarding Night Mode:
  • The paired cradle dims its LEDs when connected to a scanner in Night Mode. The LEDs remain dimmed until the cradle reboots or when a scanner connects to while not in Night Mode.
  • Exiting Night Mode returns the scanner to the previously programmed states for the three parameters changed. For example, if Beep After Good Decode was enabled before entering Night Mode, it returns to enabled upon exiting Night Mode.
  • When entering Night Mode, the pager motor vibrates. When exiting Night Mode, the scanner emits two short beeps.
  • Scanning a Default Parameters barcode causes the scanner to exit Night Mode.
  • For scanners that do not use a pager motor, scanning any of the Night Mode parameters or the pager motor parameters results in an error beep.
  • If the scanner loses power while in Night Mode because a cable is disconnected, on the next power up the scanner exits Night Mode and resumes normal operation.
