Connecting the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Series Cradle
Important: Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following order to ensure proper
operation of the digital scanner and cradle:
1. If a power supply is connected to the cradle, disconnect it. See Figure 1-7.
2. If using an interface cable, insert the cable into the cradle’s host port.
3. If using a power supply that connects to the interface cable, insert this power supply into the power connector
on the interface cable, and the other end to an AC supply.
4. Insert the other end of the interface cable into the appropriate port on the host computer (see the specific host
chapter for information on host connections).
5. If using an external power supply (if required by the interface, or to allow fast charging of the digital scanner),
insert the power cable into the power port on the back of the cradle, and connect the power supply to an
approved AC supply (refer to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information).

their respective cable grooves.
7. Mount the cradle, as necessary. (For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included
with the cradle.)
Supplying Power to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle
The CR0078-S/CR0008-S cradle receives power from one of two sources:
•
An external power supply.
•
When connected to the host through a host cable that supplies power (CR0078-S only).

NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the cradle may not recognize the new host.
Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are
examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle
remain the same.
