Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Introduction The PhaserLink PL 470 Base Cradle acts as a stand, host communication interface, and a charger for the Phaser Radio Scanner. It can sit on a desktop or be wall-mounted - whichever is more convenient. The cradle receives data from the scanner via connectors in the bottom of the scanner and the top of the cradle. It then transmits that data to the host device through an attached cable.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e Parts of the Cradle This figure shows the parts of the PhaserLink Cradle: Antenna Scanner Support Tab Charging/ Communications Contacts Charging LED Indicator COM 1 Power Port COM 2 Wallmounting Socket 1 Wallmounting Socket 2 Preliminary 3
P L 4 7 0 B a s e C r a d l e Connecting To The Host On the bottom of the cradle are three ports - COM 1 COM 2 Power Port COM 1 connects to the host computer, COM 2 is used for daisychaining multiple cradles together, and the Power Port supplies power to the cradle. 1. Insert the independent power plug into the Power Port (the cradle cannot be powered by the host computer).
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e 2. Insert the cable from the host computer into COM 1 and the cable to the other cradles, if any, into COM 2. Daisy-Chaining Note: The cradle supports daisy-chaining when connected to a serial host and not when using Synapse interfaces. To daisy-chain two or more cradles together, connect COM 1 of the first cradle to the host and COM 2 to COM 1 of the second cradle. Then connect COM 2 of the second cradle to COM 1 of the third cradle.
P L 4 7 0 B a s e C r a d l e 2. Seat the cables from the bottom of the cradle in the grooves along the length of it so that the bottom of the cradle is smooth and flat, as shown: 3. Secure two screws (included) to the wall. A template is provided for you on page 12. 4. Fasten the screws into the wall where the cradle will hang, leaving about 1/8” (.3 cm) of the screw outside the wall so that the cradle will have something to hang on. 5.
Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e 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, like so: Sending Data to Host Computer To set up the PhaserLink Cradle for communications between a Phaser and a host computer: 1. Connect the cradle to the host computer as described in Connecting To The Host on page 4. 2. Insert the Phaser in the cradle.
