2 Psion CH4000 Desktop Docking Station Quick Reference Guide
1. Important Safety Summary READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—Before using the CH4000 Desktop Docking Station read these instructions and the markings on the housing; they contain important safety information for the CH4000 and the AC Wall Adaptor. • Use the AC adaptor, batteries and other attachments recommended or sold by Psion. • The mains power cord (sold separately) shall comply with the national safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to be used.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. • An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure: - The plug pins on the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on the adaptor.
Figure 1.1 CH4000 AC Adaptor 2. CH4000 Features Important: To preserve battery integrity, the desktop docking station will proceed with a charge only when the battery temperature falls between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The CH4000 Desktop Docking Station (Figure 2.1 on page 6) is a desktop model designed to: • Fast charge the internal battery. • Fast charge the spare battery pack (see Figure 2.1 on page 6). • Supply Type A and Type B USB connectivity to the Ikôn (see Figure 3.1 on page 8).
information regarding battery capacity, charge times and battery life. See “Charging the Spare Battery” on page 7 for spare battery charge information. Figure 2.1 Desktop Docking Station Front View Rear-Mounted Spare Battery Stylus Spare Battery Charge LED 2.1 Operator Controls The CH4000 has one operator control—the USB door on the rear, which switches from Type A to Type B (see “Operating the USB Dock” on page 8). 2.2 Indicators The front-mounted LED indicates the spare battery charge status.
3. Operation 3.1 Charging the Ikôn Battery The CH4000 supplies DC power to enable the Ikôn internal fast charger. Normally, it takes 2.5 to 3.0 hours to charge the Ikôn 5000 mAh battery. When installed in the dock, the Ikôn battery charge LED will illuminate to indicate the unit has external power and can charge the internal battery. The Ikôn charge indication follows the same convention as the charger's spare battery indicator (see Figure 2.1 on page 6).
3.3 Operating the USB Dock The CH4000 Desktop Docking Station offers a rear-mounted host or device USB connection to the Ikôn. The Ikôn supports communication with low- and full-speed USB 1.1 compliant devices and hosts through the docking station. The Type B receptacle may be used for ActiveSync® among other applications typical for a Type B device (see Figure 3.1). Move the sliding door selector to alternate between the Type A and Type B USB ports. Figure 3.
3.3.1 Linking an Ikôn to a PC The desktop docking station can be connected to a PC so that you can exchange files in the same way that you would between PC drives. A USB cable is included with your docking station. Note: For information about data transfer with the Windows XP operating system and ActiveSync, and with the Vista operating system, refer to your Ikôn user manual. To link the Ikôn to a PC: • Insert the Ikôn in the desktop docking station.
5. Troubleshooting 5.1 Docking station does not seem to power on. • When first connected to the DC power supply, the spare charger LED should turn ON and remain on for 3 seconds. • If not, the charger is defective and requires service. 5.2 Ikôn charge indicator LED stays off. When an Ikôn is docked into a powered CH4000 and its charge indicator LED stays off, there could be a problem with the Ikôn or with the docking station. Use an Ikôn with a properly functioning charge indicator to isolate the problem.
5.4 Spare battery LED fast flashes green with a battery installed. • Try inserting a battery that is known to be working with another charger. • If the charge slot LED continues to fast flash green with the known working battery, the charger is defective and requires service. • Your Psion battery and desktop docking station are carefully designed for safety and capacity performance in accordance with IEEE 1725.
