Acer Versatile Connector

Acer has adopted the use of a standard connector interface—
the Acer Versatile Connector, on all its handheld product line.
This interface allows you to easily attach and use such peripheral
hardware devices as a modem, a portable keyboard or a Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver. You can also use the Versatile
Connector to take advantage of the existing line of accessories
available for the Acer s10 handheld series including the Travel
Charger and the USB Sync Charge Cable.

Refer to "Front view" on page 4 for the location of the Acer
Versatile Connector.
