Connecting a Tethered Scanner
You can attach a tethered scanner to one of the serial or USB ports on the Rhino™ 10. Be sure to order your scanner
with the appropriate cable.
USB Scanner
1. Loosen the screws on the USB retainer and move the retainer away from the USB connector.
2. Plug the cable into one of the USB ports. Depending on the scanner you are attaching, you may hear a series
of beeps and the Good Read light may flash.
3. Slide the USB retainer toward the connector until it is firmly against the USB connector. Tighten the two
screws.

Serial Scanner
1. The serial ports can supply either 5V or 12V power on pin 9 of the connector. The factory default is 5V
on COM1 and COM2. Verify which voltage the scanner requires.
2. If necessary, attach the cable to the tethered scanner.
3. Attach the scanner RS-232 cable to one of the COM connectors on the Rhino™ 10. Depending on the
scanner you are attaching, you may hear a series of beeps and the Good Read light may flash. Tighten
the screws to make sure the cable stays attached during use.
4. See the Users guide to configure the serial ports to work with the scanner.
Changing Serial Port Voltage
You can change the voltage available on the serial ports to supply no power, +5 VDC, or +12 VDC up to a maximum of
one amp total. The voltage selection jumpers are located under the top right cover.
