Digital Scanner Cradle

The digital scanner cradle serves as a stand, charger, and host interface for the digital scanner. The cradle sits on
a desktop or mounts on a vertical surface (such as a wall). For more information about mounting options and
procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.
There are two versions of the cradle:
Charging cradle with radio: When the cordless digital scanner is paired to the cradle, all communication
between the digital 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 digital scanner is paired
to the cradle and transmits bar code data to the cradle via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. 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. It does not contain a radio and has
no communication capability.
NOTE For more information about communication between the digital scanner, cradle and host, see
Radio
