My Symbol MC9090 scanner timeout every 2 minutes, how can i change the timeout to longer. thanks.

Most likely you need to download and install Datawedge. See here for solution. Symbol Motorola MC9090 Will Not Scan

Check wlan antenas inside unit

SHIFT, 2 will type an @ symbol on the MC9090 for you, just like on a QWERTY keyboard. Enjoy!

If you really want to? But we can do a touchscreen only replacement (parts + labor) for $95. It is safer than trying yourself.

What I have done is I taped the speaker opening on the back of the scanner with two stickers to reduce the beep volume to almost zero. So 3 to 4 stickers would probably eliminate the beep completely.

go to the link above, type in the vs of the mc9090 that you have, for example, firmware upgrade for mc9090-g

let me know if you need anything else

Hello george parce. You're details are perfect and I can help you here. The reason your settings aren't returning after a reboot is due to the backup battery. I'll spare you the technical details (but if you'd like them, just send me a message or email and I'll happily provide) and get straight to solutions. The backup battery gets it's power from the main battery and also charges thusly. Realize that it usually takes a whopping 15 hours to fully charge this backup battery. I recommend to all my clients having this problem that they leave the unit in it's cradle with the main battery in overnight or a little longer. This will at least get a good charge in the backup battery, if not charge it fully. If the problem persists, I recommend you contact Motorola/Symbol or the vendor you purchased it from about warranty/repair for the backup battery. I hope this helps and at the very least have helped you isolate the issue. Good luck!

A - From the Windows Mobile user interface:

1. Tap Start (the Windows Logo), then Settings.
2. Tap the System tab.
3. Tap the Power icon.
4. Tap the Advanced tab.

You can change the number of minutes before power is turned off when on battery and when on external power from there. You can also uncheck the "Turn off device if not used for" check box to disable the timeout entirely.


B - From the registry (useful for deploying the setting as a .reg file to the device, in case you have many MC9090 guns you are supporting or you are wanting to set it to a value the user interface does not support):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"BattSuspendTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ACSuspendTimeout"=dword:00000000

The above values are in hex and represent the number of seconds before timing out when on battery or AC power. For example, to set the BattSuspendTimeout to 180 seconds, you would set it to dword:000000B4. To disable it entirely (the equivalent of unchecking the checkbox in the user interface), set the value to 0.

It can read all standard symbologies apart from PDF symbologies unless it is equipped with an imager scan engine.

You may need to replace the scan engine - I can help you out with this (or any other issues you may be having).
