How to install KoamTac Cradle

Preparing the workspace: Place the KoamTac Cradle on a stable, level surface near a power source and within easy reach of the scanning station. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions and that the cradle’s docking port is accessible for quick docking and undocking every shift.

Connect the power: Attach the provided USB power cable to a compliant USB port on a computer, docking station, or a dedicated power adapter. If your setup supports external power, use the adapter to ensure consistent charging even during peak workloads. Verify the power indicator on the cradle lights up after connection.

Position the scanner: Align the KoamTac scanner with the cradle’s docking port. The device should slide in smoothly and seat securely without requiring excessive force. Once docked, the scanner should settle into a stable position that allows you to scan without interference or wobble.

Verify charging and data transfer: After docking, confirm that the scanner begins charging (check the cradle’s indicator). If your software is configured for automatic data capture, test a sample scan to ensure data is being transferred from the scanner to the computer promptly and accurately.

Cable management and safety: Route power and data cables neatly to prevent tripping hazards and to reduce wear on connectors. Keep the area around the cradle free from clutter to maintain consistent docking alignment and to preserve equipment longevity.

Maintenance tips: Periodically inspect the cradle for dust or debris in the docking area, and clean with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid harsh cleaners that could damage the charging contacts. If the cradle is moved, re-check the alignment to ensure continued reliable docking and charging performance.
