Connecting Using Wand Emulation
To perform Wand Emulation, connect the cradle to a portable data terminal, or a controller which collects the wand
data and interprets it for the host.
Figure 10-1
Wand Emulation Connection
To connect the Wand Emulation interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the
scanner cradle (see Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6).
2. Connect the other end of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the wand port on the mobile computer or
controller.
3. Select the Wand Emulation host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from Wand Emulation Host Types
on page 10-4.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless
communication
The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the
scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high
beep sequence sounds.

Interface Cable
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 10-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the
same.
If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not
recognize the new host.
CAUTION Connect the cradle to a 5 volt decoder only. Connecting the cradle to a 12 volt decoder can damage
the scanner and invalidate the warranty.
