6 PL370/470 Cradle
Inserting Phaser in the Cradle
Place the Phaser scanner in the cradle so that the top of the scanner sits in the
larger part of the cradle and the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch
the contacts on the cradle.
Pairing
The wireless connection between the scanner and cradle is the low power radio
transmission through RF transceivers in both the scanner and cradle.
Communication consists of bidirectional message packets. However, the scanner
and cradle must be paired for this communication to work.
To pair the scanner with the cradle:
1. Scan the pairing bar code on the top of the cradle. A duplicate pairing bar code
is located in the well on the bottom of the cradle.
2. Insert the scanner into the cradle (recommended but not required). Note that
data cannot be scanned until linking (pairing) is complete.
3. During pairing there is an exchange of information between the scanner and
the cradle. This occurs in a few seconds if the scanner is in the cradle and over
a minute if the scanner is not in the cradle.
4. After the exchange is complete, the scanner and cradle are paired. Successful
pairing is indicated by a warble beep; failure, or unsuccessful pairing, is
indicated by a low/high beep.
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the scanner and transmits it to the host computer
via the interface cable.
Recharging the Battery in the Phaser
To charge the scanner’s battery, place the scanner in the cradle ensuring the
metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the contacts on the cradle. A
NOTE After a new host is installed at the cradle, re-scan the pairing bar
code. This allows the cradle to notify the scanner of the change in
the host device.
