To see if the cradle has power, insert the mobile computer. The mobile computer
battery charging LED blinks amber to indicate charging, then turns solid amber
when the battery is completely charged. See
for other
indications.
Serial Device Connection
When you insert the MC9000 into the cradle,
the mobile computer’s serial port connects to
the cradle’s serial port. The mobile computer
can then use the cradle’s serial port to
communicate with an external device.
To provide serial communication between the
mobile computer and a serial device, connect
one end of the 9-pin serial cable to the serial
port on the cradle, and the other end to the
serial port on the serial device.
To begin communication:
1.
Insert the mobile computer into the cradle.
2.
Initiate communication on the mobile computer, as determined by the
application used.
NOTE
Some external devices may require a null modem cable.
CAUTION
Removing the mobile computer during communication
disrupts communication between the mobile computer and
the attached device.
