Related Product Line Configurations

CAUTION DO NOT use cables designed for the LS35X8 and DS35X8 scanners as they are not compatible with

the DS36X8 digital scanner.

CAUTION When using the power on Pin 9 RS-232 cables, be sure the host that these cables are plugged into is

supplying 5V only. Some vehicle mounted computers have the option of supplying either 5V or 12V on
Pin 9. Be sure the option is set to 5V otherwise a corded scanner will sustain damage and a cradle
does not operate (not damaged).

NOTE Check Solution Builder for:

- additional information regarding all available accessories

- the latest available configurations.
