CR2278 Presentation Cradle |
Introduction
The CR2278-PC (presentation) cordless digital scanner cradle acts as charger and radio communication interface for the DS2278 cordless digital scanner. The CR2278-PC can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall.
The cradle receives data from the digital scanner via a Bluetooth radio, and sends that data to the host through an attached cable. The cradle also charges the digital scanner’s internal battery when the digital scanner is inserted. The digital scanner can be charged from an external power supply or a USB cable powered by the host.
This document provides basic instructions on setting up and using the cradle.
Equipment Supplied
The cradle package includes one CR2278-PC cradle.

2.Insert the interface cable into the host port.
3.Insert the interface cable into the cradle’s host port.
4.Pair the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if Pair on Contacts is enabled) or by scanning the pairing bar code.

5.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 interface cable from the host.
2.Unplug the power supply from the cradle.
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.
Using a DC Power Supply
The cradle can operate from host supplied power, if available. If host power is limited or not available, an external DC power supply can be used with certain host interface cables that support a power jack. An external power supply is recommended if fastest charging is required.
CAUTION Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE
disconnecting the cable to the host end or the cradle may not recognize the new host.
Mounting the Cradle
When placing the cradle on a tabletop, the rubber feet on the bottom of the cradle provide traction and prevent surface damage.
To mount the cradle on a mounting bracket:
1.Install the mounting bracket in the appropriate location and secure in place.
2.Attach the interface and power cables to the cradle (see Cradle Connections on page 3).
3.Position the cradle on the mounting surface lining up the station mount threaded brass screw holes on the bottom of the cradle with the holes on the mounting bracket.
4.Attach the cradle securely to the surface using the two M4 screws.
5.Insert the digital scanner in the cradle.

Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Cradle.
CAUTION Do not pour, spray, or spill any liquid on the cradle.
Sending Data to the Host Computer
The cradle receives data from the digital scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The digital scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.
Pairing
NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the digital scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
Only when the digital scanner is paired to the cradle, it automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for more information.
Pairing is the process by which a digital scanner initiates communication with a cradle. To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and digital scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.
