Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link
a scanner to a base or an Access Point typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the
time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact. Relink Time-Out controls
the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection
attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to
a base unit or Access Point. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is
successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out barcode, then scan the number of seconds for the
setting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 311, then
Save. Default = 3 seconds.

Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect
to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds
of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner
powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Example: Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit
or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time
followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes,
the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any
barcodes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner
powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Example: Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger
is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base or Access Point. Each attempt
consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle
time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to
