3.2. Assembly
- Place the stand base on a stable, flat surface.
- Attach the scanner cradle to the stand post, ensuring it is securely fastened. Some models may require twisting or clicking into place.
- If using the anti-theft cable lock, route the cable through the designated slot on the stand and secure it to a fixed object.
3.3. Connecting Power

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Charging the Scanner
To charge your Socket Mobile S700, D700, or D600 series scanner, simply place it into the cradle of the charging stand. Ensure the scanner makes proper contact with the charging pins. The scanner's charging indicator (typically an LED) will illuminate to confirm charging is in progress.
4.2. Automatic Scanning Mode (for compatible 2D scanners)
For Socket Mobile 2D barcode scanners (S740, S760, D740, D750, D760), placing the scanner on the stand activates an automatic scanning mode. In this mode, the scanner will automatically read barcodes when they are presented within its scanning field, eliminating the need to manually press the scan button.
4.3. Using the Anti-Theft Lock
The integrated anti-theft cable lock provides an additional layer of security. Once the scanner is placed in the cradle, ensure the cable lock is properly engaged and secured to a fixed anchor point to deter theft.
