This section describes the features of the cradles.
The cradle serves as a charger, radio communication interface, and host communication interface for the
DS4678
scanner. There are two versions of the cradle:
The CR8178-SC cordless cradle sits on a desk or mounts on a wall and charges the
DS4678
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. The cable provides power to the cradles from the host or optional power supply if supported.
The CR8178 cordless presentation cradle sits on a desktop and charges the
DS4678
scanner while allowing barcode scanning in presentation mode. 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. The cable provides power to the cradle from the boost or optional power supply.
Only the CR8178-SC and CR8178-PC cradles are compatible with the scanner.
