3.1 CONNECTING VIA THE CRADLE
By default, the interface of the cradle is set to “USB HID”. Use the interface cable to
connect the scanner via the cradle to PC. You can have up to seven scanners connected
to one computer at the same time.
Note: If you are using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver from
the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.3 or later is required. Please remove older versions!
3.1.1 CONNECT TO THE CRADLE
You can connect any scanner to the cradle by having the scanner read the two barcodes
at the back of the cradle. The scanner will respond with one beep upon reading each of
the barcodes.
 “Set Connection” barcode
 “Serial Number” barcode
After reading these labels, 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 becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3
s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone
descending from high to low).
Read the “Set Connection” barcode first, and then the “Serial Number” barcode. If the
“Set Connection” barcode on the cradle is illegible, try this one —
Set Connection
Note: The cradle settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners
that are currently connected to the cradle.
