Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Cradle
Insert the digital scanner in the cradle so that the metal contacts on the bottom of the digital scanner handle touch
the contacts on the cradle. Push the handle lightly to ensure a proper connection, engaging the contacts in the
cradle and digital scanner. Ensure the desk/wall mount converter knob on the back of the cradle is in the correct
position for the horizontal or vertical mounting.
Horizontal Cradle Mount
When mounting the cradle horizontally, where no fastening is necessary:
1. Ensure the rubber feet are attached to the cradle. These feet provide traction and prevent surface damage.
2. Ensure the desk/wall mount converter knob is in the position shown in Figure 1-7.
