Audible


When the MS4980 is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds
indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the
beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide,

MLPN

00-02544 or MetroSet2’s

help files.

One Beep

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code the unit will beep once and
the white LED will flash once indicating data has been transmitted
successfully. The blue LED will return to the low intensity state if no other
objects are presented in the active scan area.

If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the
bar code has not been successfully read.

Short Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 15).

Long Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 15).

Three Beeps – At Power Up

When the MS4980 first receives power, it will start an initialization sequence.
The white and blue LEDs will alternately fade on and off for approximately
three seconds. When the scanner has finished initializing the white LED will
flash three times while simultaneously beeping three times to indicate the
scanner is ready for use.

Three Beeps – Configuration Mode

When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner
simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to
flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will
beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.

When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout
during normal scanning mode.

When using single-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times:
a normal tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone. This
indicates that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the
scanner.
