Introduction

The STB3508/3578 cordless scanner cradle acts as a stand, host
communication interface and charger for the LS3578 cordless scanner. It
can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall.

The STB3578 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.
The scanner can be charged from an external power supply or using a
powered host cable.

This document provides basic instructions on setting up and using the
cradle. Unless otherwise noted, “cradle” refers to both configurations of the
cradle. Any discussion of transmission of information refers specifically to the
STB3578 cradle.

CAUTION LS3478 cordless scanners are incompatible with
STB3508/3578 cradles. LS3578 cordless scanners are incompatible
with STB3408/3478 cradles.

Equipment Supplied

The cradle package includes:

• Cradle

• Four rubber feet (for desk mounting).

Accessories

The following equipment may be needed:

• Three 1.5" #8 Philips head screws (for wall mounting, if applicable, not
available from Zebra).

• Power supply for desk/wall mounting configuration (p/n 50-14000-266R).

Save the shipping container for storing or shipping. Inspect all equipment for
damage. If anything is damaged or missing, call an authorized

business Support Center

immediately.

CAUTION If the scanner does not recognize the host, disconnect the

power supply, then reconnect after connecting the host cable.

Mounting the Cradle

Horizontal Mount

1. Ensure the desk/wall mount

converter knob is in the
correct position, shown at
right.

2. If mounting the cradle

horizontally where no
fastening is necessary, peel
the protective paper from the
back of the rubber feet
included with the cradle packaging, and attach the feet to the cradle at the
indentations in the plastic. These feet provide traction and prevent surface
damage.

Vertical Mount

NOTE

Do not use the rubber feet when mounting in a vertical orientation.

To mount the cradle on a vertical surface:

1. Use a Philips screwdriver to turn the desk/wall mount converter knob to the position

shown below. The front latches protract to engage the depressions at the base of the
scanner’s handle.

The cradle includes pairing bar codes on both its front and back. To pair the
scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing bar code. A high-low-high-low beep
sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing
and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence
indicates unsuccessful pairing. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for more
information.

Lost Connection to Host

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle’s host, ensure that all cables are
firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if
applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a
connection with the host:

1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.

2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.

3. Wait three seconds.

4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.

5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if required.

6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.

NOTE The STB3578 does not always require a power supply, depending

on the host interface.

Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle

To charge the scanner battery, place the scanner in the cradle (see Inserting

the Scanner in the Cradle). The battery begins charging when the scanner LED

indicator starts flashing green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery
can take up to four hours using external power and up to 10 hours using the
interface cable.

Scanner LED Indicators

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

Wall Mount Template

Cradle Connections

IMPORTANT

1. Insert the interface cable into the

cradle’s host port.

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
required by the interface, or to allow
fast charging of the 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. If necessary, scan the appropriate

host bar code (for non-autodetected
interfaces). Refer to the Product
Reference Guide.

Changing the Host Interface

To connect to a different host, or to the
same host through a different cable:

1. Unplug the power supply from the cradle.

2. Unplug 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). Refer to the Product Reference Guide.

Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary)
in the following order to ensure proper operation of the
scanner and cradle.

2. Attach the interface and power cables to the appropriate ports (see Cradle

Connections).

3. Press the cables into the cable grooves.

4. Position the cradle on the mounting surface, or use the template included in

this guide.

5. Mark the surface through the three holes on the bottom of the cradle, or use

the mounting template to determine the location of the screw holes.

6. Pre-drill holes to accommodate three 1.5" #8 Philips head screws.

7. Attach the cradle securely to the surface.

8. Place the scanner in the cradle.

Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle

To insert the scanner in the cradle:

• Insert the scanner top first. Push the handle until it clicks into place,
engaging the contacts in the cradle and scanner.

Sending Data to the Host Computer

The cradle receives data from the scanner via a wireless radio connection and
transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The scanner and cradle
must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing

Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can
exchange information. The STB3578 operates in two modes: scanner-to-cradle
and multi scanner-to-cradle. In scanner-to-cradle mode, the scanner is paired to
the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled),
or by scanning the pairing bar code. In multi scanner-to-cradle mode, up to
three scanners can be paired to one cradle. A multipoint bar code must be
scanned to activate this feature. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for more
information.

Using a Host Interface to Supply Power

Some hosts can provide power to the cradle via the host interface, instead of an
external power supply.

Troubleshooting

If the cradle does not work after following the previous procedures:

• Check the system power.

• Check for loose cable connections.

• Check that the scanner is inserted properly in the cradle.

• Check that the host settings are correct and the cradle is connected to the
appropriate port on the host.

CAUTION Do not pour, spray, or spill any liquid on the cradle.
