Introduction
This guide applies to the STB3578 with FIPS, and STB3574 Industrial Ethernet cradles.
• The STB3578 with FIPS cradle receives data from the scanner via a Bluetooth radio, and sends
that data to the host through an attached cable. The STB3578 cradle can also be used with LS3578
scanners for charging and radio communication.
• The STB3574 Industrial Ethernet cradle receives and transfers data via a configurable Ethernet IP
address. The cradle can be configured to use one of three Industrial Ethernet Protocols:
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP. Go to:
downloads.html to download the configuration software for this cradle.
Both cradles charge the scanner ’s internal battery pack when the scanner is inserted. The scanner can
be charged from an external power supply, or a powered host cable.
This document provides basic instructions on setting up and using the cradle. Any discussion about
transmission of data refers specifically to the STB3578 cradle. Refer to the STB3574 Industrial
Ethernet Developer Cradle Developer Guide, p/n MN-002694-01, for detailed information about
receiving and transferring data with the STB3574 cradle.
IMPORTANT It is recommended that a cable with a shielded modular plug be used with
CAUTION LS3478 and DS3478 cordless scanners are incompatible with STB3508/
3578 cradles. LS3578 and DS3578 cordless scanners are incompatible with
STB3408/3478 cradles.
STB3578-CF and FLB3578-CF cradles.

Cradle Parts
Cradle Connections
IMPORTANT Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following
order to ensure proper operation of the scanner and cradle.
Changing the Host Interface (STB3578 only)
To connect the STB3578 cradle 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.
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.
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 Phillips 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.
2. Attach the interface and power cables to the appropriate ports (see
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>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 Phillips head screws.
7. Attach the cradle securely to the surface.
8. Place the scanner in the cradle.
CAUTION Do not pour, spray, or spill any liquid on 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 STB357X operates in two modes: Point-to-Point (scanner-to-cradle) and Multipoint-to-Point (multi
scanner-to-cradle). In Point-to-Point 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 Multipoint-to-Point
mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cradle when using a Non-FIPS digital scanner and
cradle. When using a FIPS enabled digital scanner and a FIPS enabled cradle, up to seven digital
scanners can be paired to one cradle. The multipoint bar code must be scanned to activate this
feature. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for more information.
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 cradle 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
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>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 4.5 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 the Zebra
Support Center.

Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, or
healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment. When
installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely
affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
hand-held wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned
ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if the operation
of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
