Scanner Components Figure 1. Scanner Components Item No. Description Button Camera Imager Infrared Sensor (IR) Targeting Window Area Illumination Cable Connection (15-pin HD-22 D-type connector) M3 Mounting Holes White LED Blue LED Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.
Important: If the cable is not fully attached, the unit may power intermittently. Figure 2. Cable Installation Insert the 15-pin D-type connector end of the cable into the socket on the MS4980. Rotate the two screws clockwise to tighten. Gently pull on the cable strain relief to insure the cable is installed.
Labels Every scanner has a label located on the underside of the unit. The label contains important information such as the unit’s date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. Figure 4 provides an example of the label. Figure 4 . Label Example Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
Connect AC power to the transformer. The MS4980 will start to initialize. The white and blue LED will alternately fade on and off for approximately three seconds. When the scanner has finished initializing, the unit will flash the white LED three times while simultaneously beeping three times.

Note: Decoding and functional capability of the unit is restricted through the use of license numbers provided by Honeywell. Units will not support key features such as, but not limited to, the ability to decode PDF, 2D or OCR fonts without the proper licenses.
Audible Indicators 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, PN 00-02544, or MetroSet2’s help...
Visual Indicators The scanner has blue and white LED indicators on either side of the button on the top of the unit. When the scanner is on, the intensity of the LED and the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs, indicates the status of the current scan and the diagnostic scanner.
Failure Modes Long Razzberry Tone – During Power Up Failed to initialize or configure the scanner. If the scanner does not respond after reconfiguration, return the scanner for repair. Short Razzberry Tone – During Scanning An Invalid bar code has been scanned when in configuration mode.
