Cradle

The cradles serve as a charger, radio communication interface, and host communication interface for the LI3678 cordless linear imager scanner. There are two versions of the cradle:

The STB3678 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the LI3678 cordless linear imager 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 linear imager scanner.

The FLB3678 cordless cradle charges the LI3678 cordless linear imager scanner, and provides host communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. 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.

DO NOT use cradles and cables designed for the LS3578 and DS3578 scanners as they are not compatible with the LI3678 linear imager scanner.

NOTE For more information about communication between the linear imager scanner, cradle, and host, see Chapter 4, Radio Communications.

For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

Connecting STB3678/FLB3678 Cradles

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

1.Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if necessary.

2.Insert the interface cable into the host port.

3.Lift the latch and connect the interface cable into the cradle's host port and then close the latch. See Figure 1-3.

4.If applicable, thread the interface cable over the cable support hook and run the host and power cables into the respective cable grooves.

5.Pair the linear imager scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pair on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code.

6.If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces). See the specific host chapter.

Figure 1-3 Connecting the Cables to the Cradle

NOTE Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE disconnecting the cable to the host end or the cradle may not recognize the new host.

NOTE 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 linear imager scanner remain the same.

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.

NOTE Supplying power from a USB host may take longer to charge the linear imager scanner.

Mounting the Cradle

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

Inserting the Battery

NOTE Batteries are shipped in an Off mode and does not power the scanner. After inserting a new battery into the LI3678 linear imager scanner, you must insert the scanner into a cradle for the battery to turn On.

Alternatively, the battery can be placed in the four slot spare battery charger to charge and then inserted in the scanner for immediate use.

The battery resides in a chamber in the linear imager scanner handle. To insert the battery:

1.Lightly press down and slide the locking lever counterclockwise to unlock and release the battery door.

2.Open the battery door.

3.If a battery is already installed, turn the linear imager scanner upright to slide the battery out.

1.Lightly press down and slide the locking lever counterclockwise to unlock the battery door.

2.Open the battery door.

3.Turn the linear imager scanner upright to slide the battery out.

Charging the LI3678 Battery

CAUTION To avoid a battery temperature fault, always charge the battery in the linear imager scanner within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C) ideal.

When using a new battery in the LI3678, the battery requires a charge to be enabled. Insert the battery (see Inserting the Battery on page 7) in the LI3678 and place the LI3678 in the STB/FLB3678 cradle (see Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle on page 8).

The battery begins charging when the cradle’s LED indicator starts blinking amber. The LI3678’s battery has completed a charge when the cradle’s LED indicator is solid green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to three hours using external power and up to ten hours using USB power over the USB interface cable.

See Beeper and LED Definitions on page 1 for detailed LED indicator information.
