Supplying Power To The Cr0078-S/Cr0008-S Cradle; Using The Usb Interface To Supply Power - Motorola DS6878 Product Reference Manual

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.
IMPORTANT For healthcare environments, use cradle p/n CR0078-SC1009BWR and place the ferrite core
(included in box with cradle) on the power supply (refer to the Power Supply Ferrite Installation
instructions included in the box).

Using the USB Interface to Supply Power

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 digital scanner charges at a
slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.
NOTE The radio link functions normally when the cradle draws power from a USB host.
