serial port on the PC. Make note of which one you use.
3. Insert the small, round plug of the power adapter to the power adaptor
jack on the back of the 9-pin serial connector on the Docks’ cable. (Refer

4. Place the PT40 into the dock, with the keypad facing out, or insert the
docking port connector of the serial cable, into the matching port at the
bottom of the PT40. (Refer to
