Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the imager with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the imager’s handle
by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field
replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized
distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
To Replace the 4800p Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the bottom
of the imager’s handle. This is the
cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. 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.
6. 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.
Troubleshooting
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
imager is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to
try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the red aiming illumination line on?
If the red aiming illumination line isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?
