Cradle Connections
1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if
necessary. This ensures detection of the host and prevent inadvertently back
powering the cradle from improper detection of the host.
2. Insert the interface cable into the host port.
3. Insert the interface cable into the cradle’s host port.
4. If applicable, thread the interface cable under the interface cable support hook
and run the cable along the interface cable groove.
5. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if Pair
on Contacts is enabled) or by scanning the pairing bar code.
6. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected
interfaces). Refer to the Product Reference Guide.
Changing the Host Interface
To connect to a different host, or to the same host through a different cable:
1. Unplug the interface cable from the host.
2. Unplug the power supply from the cradle, if a power supply is used.
3. Connect the interface cable to the new host, or the new interface cable to the
existing host.
4. Reconnect the power supply, if required.
5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected
interfaces). Refer to the Product Reference Guide.
Using a DC Power Supply
The cradle can operate from host supplied power, if available. If host power is
limited or not available, an external DC power supply can be used with certain
host interface cables that support a power jack. An external power supply is
recommended if fastest charging is required.
CAUTION Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE
disconnecting the cable to the host end or the cradle
may not recognize the new host.
