P470/370 RF Scanner Product Reference Guide
Rechargeable Battery
In the handle of the scanner, there is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This provides all
power to the scanner during cordless operation. It provides 10 hours of use in a typical
application. When fully depleted, the battery can be recharged to full charge in about 3-1/2
hours.
The Cradle
The PL 370/470 Cradle acts as a:
• stand
• 2-way RF transmitter
• communication interface with the host
• battery charger for the cordless scanner.
The cradle can sit on a desktop or be wall-mounted, whichever is more convenient. The
cradle receives data from the scanner via the antenna on the side of the cradle. The cradle
then transmits that data to the host device via an attached cable. It also acts as a holder for
the scanner.
The cradle also provides power for
charging the scanner’s battery (in the
scanner). The cradle has a charge status
indicator light that shows the status of the
battery charging (Refer to Table 4-1 on
page 4-3).
Figure 1-1. Scanner and Cradle
There are two versions of the cradle:
• PL 470 Cradle: cordless retail version
• PL 370 Cradle: cordless industrial version.
Unless otherwise noted, the term Cradle refers to both versions of the cradle.
