Unpacking
Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner
was damaged in transit, call the Symbol Support Center at one of the telephone
numbers listed on page viii. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping
container and should be used if you ever need to return your equipment for
servicing.
Setting Up the Base Station
1. Place the base station on a horizontal surface. Remember the scanner’s
operating range is approximately 10 feet (3 meters). It is preferable to have
the scanner and base station in line of sight. Placing the base station near
any large metal mass (e.g., a filing cabinet) may interfere with scanner/base
station communications. The base station may be placed on a shelf below a
counter. This placement, however, may also result in less than optimum
scanner/base station communications.
2. Connect an interface or adapter cable (for Synapse cables) to the base
station.
3. If using a direct connect interface cable, it should be connected to the
appropriate connector on the host. See Connecting to a Host on page 2-5.
