Getting Started 1 - 7
6. If applicable, thread the interface cable over the cable support hook and run the host and power cables into
their respective cable grooves.
7. Mount the cradle, as necessary. (For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included
with the cradle.)
Supplying Power to the Cradle
The cradle receives power from one of two sources:
•
An external power supply.
•
When connected to the host through a host 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, it can be powered by the USB port instead of an
external power supply. Powering from a USB host limits charging. The scanner charges at a slower rate than when
charging from an external power supply.
Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface
Symbol’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable has the
built-in intelligence to detect the host to which it is connected.
Figure 1-6
Synapse Cable Connection
1. Insert the Synapse adapter cable (p/n 25-32463-xx) into the host port on the bottom of the cradle, as described
in Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6.
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the cradle may not recognize the new host.
Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are
examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle
remain the same.
NOTE The radio link functions normally when the cradle draws power from a USB host.
NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for detailed setup instructions.
