CR8178A-PC Presentation Cradle Quick Reference Guide 2 CR8178A-PC Presentation Cradle Introduction The CR8178A-PC (presentation) cordless digital scanner cradle acts as charger and radio communication interface for the digital a wall.The CR8178A-PC healthcare cradle can sit on a desktop or be mounted on scanner. The CR8178A-PC can sit on a desktop or be mounted on a wall or cart. DS8178A cordless 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 scanners 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 CR8178A-PC cradle. Accessories The following equipment may be needed:
Power supply (for faster charging). Mounting Two M4 screws (for a vertical mount using the threaded brass screw holes, if applicable). Not available from Zebra. Wall mount bracket. Sold separately from Zebra. NOTE For Healthcare cradles only: When the digital scanner is in lamp mode, the work station requires a special bracket for vertical mounting (not available from Zebra). 3M Dual Lock fasteners for mounting. Sold separately from Zebra. Save the shipping container for storing or shipping. Inspect all equipment for damage. If anything is damaged or missing, call an authorized Zebra Support Center immediately. Related Documentation MN-002752-xx. MN-002784-xx.

Cradle Features Top Pairing Bar Code (in back) Charging/Communications Contacts Page Button/LED 4 Bottom CR8178A-PC Presentation Cradle Interface Port Rubber Feet Station Mount Threaded Brass Screw Holes
(2 - M4 x 5 mm) Rubber Feet Cradle Connections 1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if necessary. This ensures detection of the host and prevent inadvertently back powering the cradle from improper detection of the host. 2. Insert the interface cable into the host port. Insert the interface cable into the cradles host port. 3. 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. Quick Reference Guide 5 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 Horizontal Mount When placing the cradle on a tabletop, the rubber feet on the bottom of the cradle provide traction and prevent surface damage. NOTE When mounting the cradle on a mobile cart it is recommended to mount the cradle securely on the surface. 75 Degree Mount NOTE The 75 mount is used in Lamp Mode for Healthcare units only. Refer to the Product Reference Guide for information on Lamp Mode. The cradle can be mounted at a 75 angle (maximum) using the two brass threaded screw holes. 1. Position the cradle on the mounting surface and mark the surface on either side of the cradle. 2. Pre-drill two holes to accommodate the two brass threaded screw holes. Drill the holes 45.5 mm (1.8 in) apart. 45.5 mm
(1.8 in) Note: Drawing is not to scale. 3. Attach the interface and power cables
(see Cradle Connections on page 4). 6 CR8178A-PC Presentation Cradle 4. Attach the cradle securely to the surface. Rotate to 75. 75 max Insert the digital scanner in the cradle. 5. 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. Quick Reference Guide 7 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. Pairing registers a digital scanner to the cradle such that the digital scanner and cradle can exchange information. The cradle operates in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, 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. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to seven digital scanners to one cradle. To pair the digital 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. Lost Connection to Host If scanned data does not transmit to the cradles 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 host interface cable from the cradle. 2. Wait three seconds. 3. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle. 4. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code. Charging the Digital Scanner Battery in the Cradle When using a new battery in the digital scanner, the battery requires a charge to be enabled. Insert the battery in the digital scanner and place the digital scanner in the cradle (see Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Cradle. on page 6). The battery begins charging when the cradle LED indicator starts flashing amber. The battery is fully charged when the cradle LED is solid green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to three hours using external power. 8 CR8178A-PC Presentation Cradle Cradle LED Indicators LED Indication Standard Use Green (stays on) Power Up Radio Indications Green (off, then on) Bluetooth connection established Blue Page button Blue (fast/fast/slow) Page issued Battery Indications Amber (stays on) Pre-charging Amber blinking Charging Green (stays on) Fully charged Amber fast blinking Charging Error Battery End of Life Indications Red blinking Charging Red (stays on) Fully charged Red fast blinking Charging error Maintenance Indications Red (stays on) Enter boot loader Red blinking Firmware installation Quick Reference Guide 9 Troubleshooting If the cradle does not work after following the previous procedures:
Check the system power. Check for loose cable connections. Check that the digital 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. If water spills on the contacts area, the unit might not function properly. Turn the power off and tilt the cradle to drain as much liquid as possible. Do not shake the cradle. Use a paper towel to dry the outside surfaces, and expose the unit to room conditions for up to 24 hours to allow liquid to dry around the contacts.
