It can be connected to a host PC via RS-232, USB, USB type C or Ethernet interfaces, depending on the interchangeable connection module. It has the IP65 protection standard against dust and splashes of water.

BC9631-910 composed of cradle and connection module, offers the possibility to connect via USB or serial RS-232 to a host (PC) and a power connector for an external power source.

With the adoption of Wireless Power Transfer technology, the cradle can charge the reader's battery without contact, with a performance that depends on the type of power used.

The cradle has LED indicators and a touch button. When the button is pressed for 2 seconds, all barcode readers configured, properly powered on and connected to the same cradle will emit a sound and light signal within 5 seconds. This function is useful to check which readers are connected to a certain base station and to detect lost readers.
