Replace Cables
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner’s handle by
a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
Replace an Interface Cable
1. Turn off the power to the host system.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from the terminal or
computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the underside of the scanner’s
handle. This is the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and
press in. This depresses the retention tab, releasing the
connector. Pull the connector out while maintaining
pressure on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed
to go in only one way, and will click into place.
Troubleshoot a Voyager Scanner

• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
• The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
