LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Setup

Occasionally, there can be excessive interference on a channel from some other
source of radio transmissions. In this case, the default channel of a system can
be changed using the parameter codes for

Set Transmission Frequency. If you

find a particular scanner/base pair has trouble communicating over a normal
operating distance, try setting different transmission frequencies to see if
performance improves. (The LS 3070 system changes channels automatically if
it encounters interference as much as 80% of the time over a continuous 5-
minute period.)

Note:

To set trasmission frequency correctly, be sure to
use the correct Select Channel Number bar code for
your country, and to set a channel within the
allowable range.

Installing a Magstripe Reader

If desired, install a magstripe reader. This may be done before or after pairing.

1. Remove the blank plug in the magstripe connection port on the base/

charger, and then plug the magstripe reader’s cable into this port, as
illustrated below.

2. The purpose of the blank plug is to protect the base/charger from

accidental damage that can be caused by static electrical discharge into the
magstripe connection port. Keep this plug in the port whenever the magstripe
reader is not connected
.
