USING OM-DRAGON™ RADIO CRADLE
The OM-DRAGON™ cradle, paired with one or more DRAGON™ M series
laser guns, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and
transmission of barcoded data.
It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS232, Wedge or Pen cable and
is suited for both single-cradle and multi-cradle layouts.
It can also be connected to a C-Box and therefore integrated into a fixed
scanner application.
To setup your OM-DRAGON™ cradle you must:
1. Physically install the cradle.
2. Make all system connections.
3. Configure the OM-DRAGON™ cradle.

remove any impurities that could reduce adhesion.
2. Remove the protective plastic from the rubber feet and stick them onto the
bottom surface of the base.
3. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the cradle and
screw it clockwise until tight.

continue with step 2.
2. Carefully clean the adhesive strip seat of the base to remove any
impurities that could reduce adhesion.
3. Remove the protective plastic from one side of the adhesive strips and
stick them onto the base surface.
4. Remove the plastic from the other side of the strips and affix the base to
the table.
5. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the cradle and
screw it clockwise until tight.

Since the OM-DRAGON™ is mounted on its base when delivered, before
performing the following operation, unscrew the fixing screw and detach the
cradle from the base by holding the base tight and pushing the cradle
backwards.
