The Base/Charger Unit

The base/charger unit has two primary functions. First, it is the

base station

interface that manages the flow of information from the scanner to the host
device. Second, it is a

charging stand

which charges the scanner’s battery

module (located in the handle) and also holds the scanner securely when it is
not in use. An LED indicates the status of battery charging.

The base/charger unit communicates via radio transmission with the scanner
to receive bar code data from the scanner, confirm receipt of data back to the
scanner, and exchange configuration information. The base/charger unit also
formats the scanned bar code data as required and then transmits it to the host
system through the attached cable.
