3.1 CONNECTING VIA CRADLE

By default, the interface of the cradle is set to "USB HID". Use the interface cable to
connect the scanner via cradle to PC. You can have up to seven scanners connected to
one computer at the same time.
Note: If using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver beforehand.
Driver version 5.4 or later is required. Please remove older versions!

3.1.1 CONNECT TO CRADLE

By scanning the setting barcode at the back of the cradle
Connect any scanner to the cradle by reading the barcode label at the back of the cradle. The
scanner will respond with one beep upon reading the label.

After reading the label (12 digits of 'x' represent the cradle MAC address), 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 flashes blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s).
When out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high to
low).
Note: The cradle settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners
that are currently connected to the cradle.
