How to use

Place the cradle on a stable, level surface and connect the USB cable to the host computer or POS terminal. Insert the EA660 scanner into the cradle until it seats securely; charging will commence automatically and the host system will detect the device for data transfer. For removal, lift the scanner straight up to avoid undue stress on the connector. Ensure the cradle and scanner contacts are clean and free of debris to maintain reliable electrical connection.

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, use the cradle on a flat surface and avoid placing heavy objects on top. Regularly inspect the USB cable and connector for wear and replace if damaged. When deploying multiple EA660 units, label docking locations to streamline device assignment and reduce mix-ups during shift changes.
