DC Power Jack
Connect the power cable to this power jack; see powering the Single Slot Cradle Device on paragraph 12.6.
USB Port
The USB port is full-speed (v2.0). Using the USB cable, you can connect the base to a USB-compliant device to
facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft
ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on
paragraph 10.4.
Ethernet Port (Single Ethernet cradle only)
Using an Ethernet cable, you can connect the Single Ethernet cradle to an Ethernet-compliant device to facilitate Ethernet
communication to and from the terminal. This equipment is for indoor use only. The communication wiring is limited to the
inside of a building.
13.6. Powering the Single Slot Cradle or Single Ethernet Cradle Device
The terminal requires DC 5V input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts
the voltage from the power source to DC 5V. Only power adapter cables from Handheld convert the voltage appropriately.
The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the base. This cable contains a plug adapter for
each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).
1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power cable into the power source.
3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is
now powered.
When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches
ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on paragraph 10.4).
Handheld recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.
13.7. Charging the Battery
The base powers the terminal and fully charges the battery pack in 5 hours depending on the battery.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-
Ion batteries.
