Connecting cables
Note: The PTC-960XRF cannot be connected to
an external modem via cable. It can be connected
to an external modem only through an optional
SC-960X or MC-960X communication cradle.
Making a direct connection between the PTC-
960XRF and another computer, PTC, or acces-
sory requires the use of a special adapter cable
and may require a separate accessory cable. The
adapter cable plugs into the modular RJ-41
accessory connector on the PTC’s left side. The
other end of this adapter cable has a standard
25-pin (part number 15109-001) or 9-pin (part
number 15508-001) RS-232-type connector that
plugs directly into the accessory or is attached to
a separate cable that plugs into the accessory or
other computer.
Both the adapter cable and the correct cable for
your accessory or host computer must be ordered
separately. For the correct cable, see the manual
or instructions provided by your organization
and the list of accessories in
CAUTION! Do not force any connectors to-
gether if they do not connect easily; you could
damage them. Check to make sure that they
are lined up correctly, that no pins are bent,
and that nothing is obstructing the accessory
connector on the PTC.
1. Make sure you have both the correct adapter
cable and the correct accessory cable, if neces-
sary, for the device you are connecting to. If
you use the wrong accessory cable, the PTC
may not be able to communicate.
2. Press the ON/OFF key on the PTC’s key-
board to turn off the PTC.
