To Replace the 3800i Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cord
lock from the base of the imager if in
use.
4. Locate the small hole on the side of
the imager’s handle. This is the cable
release.
5. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
6. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
depresses the retention tab, releasing
the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
7. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is keyed to go in only one way, and will click
into place.
8. If the cord lock is used, screw it back in place over the cord.
