Getting Started 1 - 9
The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the
external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.
Using the USB Interface to Supply Power
When the CR0078-S cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, it can be powered by the USB port
instead of an external power supply. Powering from a USB host limits charging. The digital scanner charges at a
slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.
Connecting the CR0078-P 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. Insert the interface cable into the cradle’s host port.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host.
3. Connect the power supply to the cradle’s power port.
4. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and AC power source.
5. Thread the interface cable over the cable support hook (see Chapter 1-6, CR0078-P Cradle Back View) and
run the host and power cables into their respective cable grooves.
6. If necessary, (for non-autodetected interfaces) scan the appropriate host bar code (refer to the
CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information).
Figure 1-8 Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-P Cradle
IMPORTANT For healthcare environments, use cradle p/n CR0078-SC1009BWR and place the ferrite core
(included in box with cradle) on the power supply (refer to the Power Supply Ferrite Installation
instructions included in the box).
NOTE The radio link functions normally when the cradle draws power from a USB host.
