Quick Reference Guide 3

Introduction

The PhaserLink 360/460 cradle acts as a stand, host communication interface, and charger for the Phaser scanner. For convenience, the cradle can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall.

The cradle receives data from the scanner via connectors in the bottom of the scanner and the top of the cradle. It then transmits that data to the host device through an attached cable.

The cradle also provides power for charging the scanner battery pack (in the scanner). The cradle has a charge status indicator light.

Two versions of the cradle are available:

- PL 460 cradle: the batch retail version.

- PL 360 cradle: the batch 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.
