Unpacking the Scanner
Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call
Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support at one of the telephone numbers listed on
page xv . KEEP THE PACKING. It
is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be returned for servicing.
The Scanner Cradle
The scanner cradle serves as a stand, charger, and host interface for the scanner. There are two versions of the
cradle:
• Charging cradle with radio: All communication between the cordless scanner and the host computer is
accomplished through the cradle. Each bar code contains programming instructions or other data unique to
the bar code pattern. The scanner transmits bar code data to the cradle via a wireless radio antenna. The
cradle then sends that information via an interface cable to the host computer for interpretation.
• Charge-only cradle: This cradle serves as a stand and battery charger. Since one radio-enabled cradle can
receive information from up to four scanners, it is possible to have several charge-only cradles.
The charging cradle with radio supports two modes of operation:
• Single point mode: the cradle communicates with one scanner.
• Multipoint mode: the cradle communicates with more than one scanner.
The cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a non-horizontal surface (such as a wall or forklift), depending on the
environment. For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included
with the cradle.
