Preliminary1Quick ReferenceIntroductionThe PhaserLink PL 470 Base Cradle acts as a stand, host communication interface, and a charger for the Phaser Radio Scanner. It can sit on a desktop or be wall-mounted - whichever is more convenient.The cradle receives data from the scanner via connectors in the bottom of the scanner and the top of the cradle. It then transmits that data to the host device through an attached cable.The cradle also provides power for charging the scanner’s battery pack (in the scanner). The cradle has a charge status indicator light.There are two versions of the cradle available:• PL 470 Base Cradle: the radio retail version• PL 370 Base Cradle: the radio industrial versionThis Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of the cradle. Unless otherwise noted, the term PhaserLink refers to all versions of the cradle.Equipment SuppliedThe equipment supplied is:• Two Screws (for wall mounting)• One Velcro Strip (for desk mounting)• Four Rubber Feet (for desk mounting)•This Guide• CradleSave the shipping container for storing or shipping. Inspect all your equipment for damage. If anything is damaged or missing, call your authorized Customer Support Representative immediately.Related DocumentationPhaser Series Scanner Product Reference Guide,p/n 70-33629-xx

Preliminary4PL 470 Base CradleConnecting To The HostOn the bottom of the cradle are three ports - COM 1 connects to the host computer, COM 2 is used for daisy-chaining multiple cradles together, and the Power Port supplies power to the cradle.1. Insert the independent power plug into the Power Port (the cradle cannot be powered by the host computer).Power PortCOM 1COM 2
Preliminary5Quick Reference2. Insert the cable from the host computer into COM 1 and the cable to the other cradles, if any, into COM 2.Daisy-ChainingNote: The cradle supports daisy-chaining when connected to a serial host and not when using Synapse interfaces.To daisy-chain two or more cradles together, connect COM 1 of the first cradle to the host and COM 2 to COM 1 of the second cradle. Then connect COM 2 of the second cradle to COM 1 of the third cradle. You can daisy-chain up to 12 cradles to one host in this manner.Wall MountingBefore wall-mounting the cradle, the scanner support tab must be changed from the desk-mount position to the wall-mount position.1. Lift the scanner support tab out of the top part of the cradle and replace it in the wall-mount position, as shown:Desk Mount Wall Mount
Preliminary6PL 470 Base Cradle2. Seat the cables from the bottom of the cradle in the grooves along the length of it so that the bottom of the cradle is smooth and flat, as shown:3. Secure two screws (included) to the wall. A template is provided for you on page 12.4. Fasten the screws into the wall where the cradle will hang, leaving about 1/8” (.3 cm) of the screw outside the wall so that the cradle will have something to hang on.5. Place the cradle over the screw heads and slide down until it fits into place. Slight pressure upwards should not move the cradle.6. Place the Phaser in the cradle.
Preliminary7Quick ReferenceInserting Phaser in the Cradle Place the Phaser scanner in the cradle so that the top of the scanner sits in the larger part of the cradle and the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the contacts on the cradle, like so:Sending Data to Host ComputerTo set up the PhaserLink Cradle for communications between a Phaser and a host computer:1. Connect the cradle to the host computer as described inConnecting To The Host on page 4.2. Insert the Phaser in the cradle.3. Start the communications program on the host computer and the Phaser.Recharging the Battery in the Phaser1. Connect the cradle to a receptacle supplying AC power of the proper voltage level.2. Place the scanner in the cradle, ensuring the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the contacts on the cradle.3. A complete charge takes up to 4 hours, depending upon the re-maining charge in the battery of the scanner.
Preliminary8PL 470 Base CradleIndicator LEDOnce the scanner is placed in the cradle, it will wait 15 minutes to start charging the battery in the scanner. The LED blinks in a specific pattern to show what the cradle is doing:TroubleshootingIf the cradle does not work after you’ve followed these operating instructions:• Check the system power.• Check for loose cable connections.• Check the scanner is sitting properly in the cradle.CleaningWipe the cradle periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material, such as eyeglasses.Caution: Do not pour, spray or spill any liquid on the cradle.Off The scanner is not in the cradle Slow Blink Scanner is in cradle, not chargingFast Blink Scanner is in cradle, chargingOn Scanner is in cradle, charge cycle is complete
