CradlePoint USB/Ethernet Charging Cradle User Guide 

Choosing a Communication Connection 

Before you prepare the cradle to communicate, you must decide which type of 
communication you desire: (1) direct communication with a USB device or (2) 
communication with a remote location via your network. 

Direct Communication with your Host Computer or a USB Device 

To connect your terminal with your host computer or a USB device, follow these simple 
steps: 
 

 

Plug the USB 

Mini-B 

connector 

into the Mini-

AB connector 

on the rear of 

the cradle. 

 

  Plug the USB 

Standard-A 

connector into a 

USB port on your 

computer.  

 

  Slide the 

Network/USB 

switch on the side 

of the cradle to the 

right so that it 

indicates USB-

communications. 

 

Once you have the 
cradle connected to the 
host device, insert the 
handheld terminal into 
the cradle. Now you can 
communicate with your 
host device to transmit, 
or synchronize, data. 
You can even browse 
the internet if the host 
device is connected to a 
network with internet 
access. 
 

 

You can confirm that you are correctly connected by performing an ActiveSync 
operation. ActiveSync software is provided with your Symbol handheld 
terminal. Instructions for using ActiveSync are in your Symbol documentation. 
Once your ActiveSync partnership has been established, you can communicate 
with any networked computer or the internet (if your network has internet 
access).
