CAUTION

Supplying Power to the Cradle

The cradle receives power from one of two sources:
•
An external power supply.
•
When connected to the host through an interface cable that supplies power.
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.
Using the USB Interface to Supply Power
When the cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, the USB port can power the cradle so that an
external power supply is not necessary. Note that powering from a USB host charges the scanner at a slower rate
than when charging from an external power supply.

Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface

NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for more information.
Symbol's Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable detects
the host.
