The charging cradle is designed to recharge and provide easy storage of the Colorful Series 7 scanner. When not in use or in between scanning sessions, scanners can charge on the cradle, set up in multiple ways. A multi-angle mounting bracket sets the cradle in different positions on a flat surface, or attaches to a wall for optimal comfort. The cradle features a floating contact charge system – simply set the CHS scanner in the cradle to charge the scanner. An easy to view power LED indicates the cradle is ready for charging.
