Connecting a Tethered Scanner

Note: Pin 9 of COM1 must be configured to provide +5V.

The scanner cable is attached to the connector labeled “COM1/SCANNER”.

The tethered scanner receives power from the VX6. The cable requires a nine-pin D-shell female connector for the VX6. Note: Use of a shielded cable is required to maintain FCC and CISPR22 emissions compliance.

1.Power off the VX6 before connecting the scanner cable to the VX6.

2.Seat the connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction. Do not over over tighten.

3.Use a strain relief clamp to secure the cable.

Press the power button to power up the VX6 and the tethered scanner.
