Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Cradle
To insert the digital scanner in the cradle:
1. Insert the scanner into the cradle top first ensuring that the cradle latch
depression connects with the scanner latch on the cradle.
2. Push the handle until it clicks into place, engaging the contacts in the cradle
and digital scanner.
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the digital scanner via a wireless radio connection
and transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The digital scanner and
cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.
Pairing
Pairing registers a digital scanner to the cradle such that the digital scanner and
cradle can exchange information. The cradle operates in two modes:
Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, 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. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you
can pair up to seven digital scanners to one cradle.
To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing bar code. A
high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence
indicates successful pairing and connection to the remote device. A long low, long
high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.
NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the digital scanner
to a cradle is unique to each cradle. Do not scan data or
parameters until pairing completes.
