3.1 CONNECTING VIA THE CRADLE
Use the interface cable to connect the scanner via the cradle to PC. You can have up to
seven scanners connected to one computer at the same time.
Note: If you are using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver from
the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.3 or later is required. Please remove older versions!

3.1.1 CONNECT TO THE CRADLE

By default, the interface of the cradle is set to "USB HID". You can connect any scanner
to the cradle by having the scanner read the two labels at the back of the cradle. The
scanner will respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.
"Set Connection" label
"Serial Number" label
After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2
minutes by default) trying to connect to the cradle while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off
ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone
ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3
s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone
descending from high to low).
Read the "Set Connection" label first, and then the "Serial Number" label. If the "Set
Connection" label on the cradle is illegible, try this one —
Note: The cradle's settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners
that are currently connected to the cradle.
