Connecting the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Series Cradle

IMPORTANT Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following order to ensure proper
If a power supply is connected to the cradle, disconnect it. See
1.
If using an interface cable (CR0078-S only), insert the cable into the cradle's host port.
2.
If using a power supply that connects to the interface cable (CR0078-S only), insert this power supply into
3.
the power connector on the interface cable, and the other end to an AC supply.
Insert the other end of the interface cable into the appropriate port on the host computer (see the specific
4.
host chapter for information on host connections).
If using an external power supply (if required by the interface, or to allow fast charging of the linear imager
5.
scanner), insert the power cable into the power port on the back of the cradle, and connect the power
supply to an approved AC supply (refer to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle Quick Reference Guide for
more information).

included with the cradle.)
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the cradle may not recognize the new host.
Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are
examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle
remain the same.

Supplying Power to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle

The CR0078-S/CR0008-S cradle receives power from one of two sources:
An external power supply.
•
When connected to the host through a host cable that supplies power (CR0078-S only).
•
The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the
external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.
When the CR0078-S cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, it can be powered by the USB port
instead of an external power supply. Powering from a USB host limits charging. The linear imager scanner
charges at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.
