8 STB3508/3578 Cradle
Lost Connection to Host
If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle’s host, ensure that all cables are
firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if
applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a
connection with the host:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.
2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.
3. Wait three seconds.
4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.
5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if required.
6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.
Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle
To charge the scanner battery, place the scanner in the cradle (see Inserting the
Scanner in the Cradle). The battery begins charging when the scanner LED
indicator starts flashing green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can
take up to four hours using external power and up to 10 hours using the interface
cable.
Scanner LED Indicators
The green LED on the scanner indicates charging activity (see the table below).
If the scanner is charging in fast mode (non-bus powered mode), the green LED
blinks at a fast rate. If the scanner is charging in slow mode (bus-powered mode),
the LED blinks at a slow rate.
If the red LED on the scanner begins flashing, indicating a charging problem,
remove the scanner from the cradle and replace the battery. If the red LED on the
scanner continues flashing, contact a Zebra business Support Center.
NOTE The STB3578 does not always require a power supply, depending
on the host interface.
