Configuration via 123Scan2.

Unpacking the Scanner

Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the digital scanner was damaged in transit, contact Zebra Support. See page xviii for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be returned for servicing.

The Cradle

The cradles serve as a charger and radio communication interface for the DS3578 cordless digital scanner. Some models also provide a host communication interface. There are four versions of the cradle:
The STB3508 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the DS3578 cordless digital scanner. An external power supply or a powered host cable charges the digital scanner.
The STB3578 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the DS3578 cordless digital scanner This cradle also provides host communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. An external power supply or a powered host cable charges the digital scanner.
The FLB3508 cordless cradle charges the DS3578 cordless digital scanner. The cradle attaches to a mounting bracket using three isolators, and the bracket then mounts on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift provides power to the cradle.

The cradle attaches to a mounting bracket using three isolators, and the bracket then mounts on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift provides power to the cradle.
These cradles CAN be used with the LS3578 scanners for charging and radio communication.
DO NOT use these cradles with LS3478 and DS3478 scanners. Likewise, DO NOT use cradles designed for the LS3478 and DS3478 to charge or provide communication for LS3578 and DS3578 scanners.
NOTE For more information about communication between the digital scanner, cradle, and host, see Chapter 4,
Radio Communications.

Connecting the Cradle

Important: Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following order to ensure proper operation of the digital scanner and cradle.
Connecting STB3508/3578 Cradle
1. Insert the interface cable into the cradle's host port. See Figure 1-4.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host.
3. If necessary, connect the power supply to the cradle's power port (if the interface requires, or to allow fast
charging of the digital scanner).
4. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if necessary.
5. If applicable, thread the interface cable over the cable support hook and run the host and power cables into
their respective cable grooves.
6. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code on the cradle.
7. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces). See the specific host
chapter.
Figure 1-4
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the digital scanner 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 digital scanner remain the same
Getting Started 1 - 7
Connecting FLB3508/3578 Cradle
1. Insert the interface cable from the host computer into the cradle's host port. See Figure 1-4.
2. Connect the forklift power supply to the cradle's power port, if applicable.
3. Optionally, thread the host cable over the cable hook and run the host and power cables into their
respective cable grooves, or use cable ties to secure them to the mounting plate after attaching it to the cradle. For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.
4. Pair the digital scanner with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code on the cradle.
5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces). See the specific host
chapter.
Changing the Host Interface
To connect to a different host, or to the same host using a different cable:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle, if used.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the host.
3. Connect the interface cable to the new host, or the new interface cable to the existing host.
4. Reconnect the power supply, if required.
5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces). See the specific host
chapter.
CAUTION If the digital scanner does not recognize the host, disconnect the power supply, then reconnect after
connecting the host cable.

Supplying Power to the Cradle

The cradle receives power from one of two sources:
An external power supply.
When connected to the host through an interface 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, the USB port can power the cradle so that an
external power supply is not necessary. Note that powering from a USB host charges the digital scanner at a
slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.

Mounting the Cradle

For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

Inserting the Battery

The battery resides in a chamber in the digital scanner handle. To insert the battery:
1. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the digital scanner, then turn the slot
counterclockwise to release the latch.
2. Lift the latch.
3. If a battery is already installed, turn the digital scanner upright to slide the battery out.
4. Slide the new battery into the chamber, with the rounded side toward the back and the contacts facing into
the chamber.
Figure 1-5
5. Close the latch.
6. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the digital scanner, press down gently, and
turn the slot clockwise to lock the latch in place.
Inserting the Battery

Removing the Battery

To remove the battery:
1. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the digital scanner, then turn the slot
counterclockwise to release the latch.
2. Lift the latch.
3. Turn the digital scanner upright to slide the battery out.

Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle

For best performance, fully charge the digital scanner battery before using the digital scanner for the first time.
To charge the digital scanner battery, place the digital scanner in the cradle (see Inserting the Scanner in the
Cradle on page 1-10). The battery begins charging when the digital scanner LED indicator starts flashing
green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to 4.5 hours using external power and up to
10 hours using the interface cable.
Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C)
ideal.
The DS3578 typically achieves 50,000 (fifty thousand) scans. For information on maximizing battery life, see
Battery Maintenance on page 3-1.

Scanner Charging LED

The digital scanner’s green LED indicates charging activity (see Table 2-2 on page 2-4). If the digital scanner is
charging in fast mode (non-bus powered mode), the green LED blinks at a fast rate. If the digital scanner is
charging in slow mode (bus-powered mode), the LED blinks at a slow rate.
If the digital scanner’s red LED begins flashing, indicating a charging problem, remove the digital scanner from
the cradle and replace the battery. If the red LED continues flashing, contact Zebra Support.
