Quick Reference Guide 3
Introduction
The PhaserLink 370/470 Radio Frequency (RF) cradle acts as a stand, host
communication interface and a charger for the Phaser RF scanner. For
convenience, the cradle can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall.
The cradle receives data from the scanner via radio frequency (RF) transmissions
through the antenna, then transmits that data to the host device through an
attached cable. The cradle also charges the scanner’s battery pack (in the
scanner).
Two versions of the cradle are available:
• PL470 cradle: radio retail version.
• PL370 cradle: radio industrial version.
This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of
the cradle. Unless otherwise noted, the term PhaserLink refers to all versions of
the cradle.
