sending repeated bursts of Bluetooth radio traffic through the air. Either pairing the
scanner with its base station or setting the scanner to an "acceptor" mode will stop this
behavior.

Barcode Identifier Label for Pairing Scanners

If you want a scanner to initiate pairing with a Talkman device, you must generate the barcode
specific to that scanner. You can find several commercial software packages as well as freeware
on the Internet that can be used to create barcodes.
Generally, the barcode created to pair a scanner with a Talkman device is composed of a control
sequence that is unique to each scanner type and brand. Some scanners require a control
sequence followed by the MAC address of the destination, both of which can be represented as a
single barcode. Other scanners require separate scans of a control sequence and destination
MAC address. In all cases, however, it will be necessary to know the destination MAC address of
the Talkman device in order to create a barcode that can be printed and read for pairing to that
Talkman.
NOTE
While the MAC addresses of devices appear as a bar code labels on these devices, scanning
those bar codes will not initiate pairing because they do not contain control sequences.
Many scanners use a code referred to as "FNC3" to initiate a programming sequence. FNC3 can
be entered using the numeric keypad (not regular keys) while holding down the ALT key and
entering 0179. The numeric keypad must be used to enter this combination; it will not work using
the regular number keys.
It is important to read and understand the unique configurations that each scanner may require
to successfully pair it with Talkman devices. There may also be specific scanner behaviors that
must be changed to meet operational needs (such as power-off timeouts, disconnection
timeouts, etc.)
