Replacing the Interface Cable

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the IT5600/5800 scanner’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 IT5600 Interface Cable:

1.Turn the power to the host system OFF.

2.Disconnect the scanner’s cable from the terminal or computer.

3.Locate the small hole on the side of the scanner’s handle (IT5600/5800). 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.
