Motorola LS7708 Integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Installing the Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)

Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide2-8
Integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
The scanner includes an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna. The scanner and EAS system can operate independently of
each other, or using an exclusive interlock feature. The deactivation range is mapped suitable to the scanning range, so both can be
accomplished almost simultaneously. The interlock feature requires a good decode signal to activate the EAS system.
Do not attempt to activate the interlock feature. Activation instructions are for a Motorola qualified technician
only.
The scanner’s integrated EAS deactivation antenna requires an EAS host cable. This Y-cable connects to the scanner’s host port at
one end, and splits to the host and the EAS system at the other end.
LS7708 Interlock Cable and EAS
To connect the EAS interlock feature to the scanner:
1. Peel off the EAS sticker on the bottom of the scanner (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3). The sticker covers the EAS interlock port.
2. Plug the EAS interlock cable into the port (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-7).
3. Attach the other end to the EAS system.
Be sure to scan the proper bar code on page 4-17 to activate this feature.

CheckPoint EAS Model Compatibility
The EAS cable is intended for use with CheckPoint CP-VII and CP-IX systems. It does not support CP-IV and other low-power receiver-
based EAS deactivation systems.
Considerations
The CheckPoint CP-VII system generates a periodic burst of electromagnetic energy that deactivates EAS tags brought near the
scanner. To avoid interference with the scanner’s operation, take the following precautions when installing the EAS system:
• Position the EAS antenna box as far as possible from the scanner (at least 6 in. / 15.24 cm.)
• Position the EAS antenna, EAS antenna box, EAS control cable, and EAS controller box as far as possible from the scanner’s
host and power cables.
