Installation

Route the interface cable from the terminal or host. Plug the AC

adapter (if one is used) into a wall outlet and the interface (I/F)

cable, then route and attach the I/F cable to the scanner. Verify

operation by presenting known-good bar codes to the scanner.

The unit should beep1and/or flash its good read LED and send

the bar code data to the host or terminal. If not, refer to the Trou-

bleshooting section of this guide.

Scanner installation is complete.

The Magellan 1500i uses intelligent illumination technology to

optimize light levels for a variety of bar code scanner functions

including automatic reading of bar codes from printed surfaces,

mobile devices and image capture in variable contrast environ-

ments.

Optional Stand/Riser

An optional stand / riser is available for the scanner. The stand

and riser have anti-skid pads on the bottom and can rest on any

desired horizontal surface or countertop. The scanner (along with

the stand/riser) can be easily repositioned on the counter or

lifted for portable use.

Removing the Stand/Bottom Cover

1. Unplug the Power Interface Cable by inserting a paper clip or

similar object into the latch release hole as shown in

Figure 2 on page 2.

2. After removing the Interface Cable, pull the bottom of the

Stand forward (in the direction of the Front Window) to

detach it from the unit. It will snap free easily if oriented cor-

rectly.

Magnetic Base Mounting

The magnetic swivel base can be used to semi-permanently

attach a scanner to a flat surface (vertical or horizontal), using

the provided adhesive or screw. Both the stand and riser options

mount onto the magnetic swivel base and are held magnetically

in place. The scanner can easily be rotated to a desired orienta-

tion. The scanner (along with the riser or stand) can be detached

for portable use by lifting the entire unit as shown in Figure 4 on

page 5.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove the Stand without first

unplugging the Cable as described. Doing so may result

in damage to the scanner.
