Frequently Asked Questions

Each Zebra cordless scanner model uses a specific cradle part number — cradles are not universally cross-compatible across the DS and LI series. The correct cradle for a Zebra DS3678 or LI3678 is the Zebra CRD-DS-3678 series single-slot charging cradle; the DS2278 uses a different cradle (CRD2278) with a different footprint and connector. The quickest way to identify the correct cradle is by your scanner's model number printed on the label on the bottom of the unit — EpicRise can cross-reference your model number to the correct cradle, cable, and power supply part numbers.

Yes — we carry replacement and spare lithium-ion batteries for the Zebra DS3678, LI3678, DS2278, and other cordless Zebra scanner models. Replacement batteries are genuine Zebra OEM parts; third-party batteries are not recommended as they can affect charge cycle counts, operating temperature range, and may not be recognized by the scanner's battery management system. For two-shift operations, we recommend purchasing one spare battery per scanner so batteries can be swapped at shift change and charged externally using a multi-slot battery charger rather than the single-slot cradle.

A typical cordless Zebra scanner deployment requires: (1) the scanner itself, (2) a single-slot or multi-slot charging cradle, (3) a power supply for the cradle (not always included in the box), and (4) a USB cable from cradle to host PC. For multi-unit deployments, a 4-slot charging cradle is more practical than multiple single-slot cradles and occupies less counter space. Holsters and belt clips are optional but recommended for workers who carry the scanner continuously during a shift — reducing drop incidents and extending scanner lifespan significantly.

Barcode scanner windows should be cleaned weekly in standard environments and daily in high-traffic or food service environments — dust, fingerprints, and grease on the scan window reduce first-pass read rates and can cause decode failures on smaller barcodes. Use a dry lint-free cloth or a cleaning card designed for barcode scanners; avoid harsh solvents or abrasive materials that can scratch the polycarbonate scan window. For healthcare environments requiring regular disinfection, ensure your scanner model carries a disinfectant-ready (DR) designation — these models have sealed housings and window materials rated for exposure to common hospital disinfectants.
