Elf™/ Falcon™ X3
Four Slot Dock
Read this manual carefully before performing any
type of connection from the terminal to a host PC
using the Four Slot Dock.
The user is responsible for any damages caused
by incorrect use of the equipment or by
inobservance of the indication supplied in this
manual.
NOTE
The Four Slot Dock paired with an Elf PDA or a Falcon X3 mobile
computer builds a reading system for the collection, decoding
and transmission of barcode data.
The Four Slot Dock can charge both the terminals and the spare
batteries at the same time. The spare batteries can be charged
by inserting them into the slots at the back of the cradle.
The Four Slot Dock comes in two different models, the Charger
and the Ethernet:
−
Elf Charger 94A151134; Elf Ethernet 94A150053
−
Falcon X3 Charger 94A151135; Falcon X3 Ethernet
94A150056
The Ethernet model also provides Ethernet connection for data
transfer via local area networks.

ETHERNET CONNECTION
The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Elf and on
the Falcon X3 and initiate automatically when the terminal is
placed in a properly connected Four Slot Dock Ethernet.
When the mobile computer is inserted into the Four Slot Dock
Ethernet, the connectivity icon on the taskbar indicates that the
mobile computer is connected to a network.
The maximum bandwidth capacity for each
Mobile Computer is 12Mbps.
NOTE
The yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to
indicate that a link is established. When it is not lit it indicates that
there is no link.
Connections should always be made with power
OFF!
CAUTION
