Changing the Base Station Position
The base station is configured by installing one of two sets of mechanical parts that come with the
cordless kit. The default mounts provide three options: vertical (wall) mounting, standing (45°), or
horizontal mounting with a higher mechanical retention of the scanner. Use the other mounts only for
horizontal mounting, with lower retention of the scanner. The different parts may be interchanged to
customize retention preferences.
