Introduction
The FLB3508/3578 cordless scanner cradle acts as a stand, host communication
interface and charger for the LS3578 cordless scanner. It attaches to a mounting
bracket using three isolators. The bracket is then mounted on the forklift surface.
The FLB3578 cradle receives data from the scanner via a Bluetooth radio, and sends
that data to the host through an attached cable. The cradle also charges the scanner’s
internal battery pack when the scanner is inserted. A portable power supply on the
forklift supplies power to the cradle.
This document provides basic instructions on setting up and using the cradle.

cradles. LS3578 cordless scanners are incompatible with FLB3408/3478

The Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is used to install the cradle on a forklift. Mount the bracket so that
the cradle is within the user’s reach envelope. The recommended reach envelope has a
radius of 15" measured from the front of the user’s shoulder to the scanner grip.
Three isolators ensure secure attachment with minimized vibration. The bracket has
holes that provide access the host and power ports, and enable securing the cables
