FLB3508/3578 Cradle
Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle
To insert the scanner in the cradle, insert the scanner top first. Then, push the handle
until it clicks into place, engaging the contacts in the cradle and scanner.
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the scanner via a wireless radio connection and
transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The scanner and cradle must be
paired for successful wireless communication.
Pairing
Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can
exchange information. The FLB3578 operates in two modes: scanner-to-cradle and
multi scanner-to-cradle. In scanner-to-cradle mode, the scanner is paired to the cradle
either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled), or by scanning the
pairing bar code. In multi scanner-to-cradle mode, up to three scanners can be paired
to one cradle. A multipoint bar code must be scanned to activate this feature.
The cradle includes a pairing bar code on its front. To pair the scanner with the cradle,
scan the 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. Refer to the
Product
Reference Guide
for more information.
Lost Connection to Host
If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle’s host, ensure that all cables are firmly
inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC
outlet, if applicable
.
If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the
host:
1.
Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.
2.
Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.
3.
Wait three seconds.
4.
Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.
5.
Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if required.
6.
Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.
NOTE
The FLB3578 does not always require a power supply, depending on
the host interface.
Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle
To charge the scanner battery, place the scanner in the cradle (see
). The battery begins charging when the scanner LED indicator
starts flashing green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to
four hours using external power and up to 10 hours using the interface cable.
