Desktop Cradle
The Thin Tablet 312 is complemented by an optional Desktop
Cradle for support, pass-through charging, and connection to
a range of USB peripherals, including keyboard and mouse.
The Cradle offers the following interfaces: a DC-in port for the
AC-DC adapter, an Ethernet port, a VGA port (optional) and
USB ports. Always seat the Thin Tablet 312 securely onto the
cradle. The cradle must be powered by the AC-DC adapter for
the Ethernet and USB ports to function. The battery packs on
the Thin Tablet 312 may be recharged by connecting the AC-
DC adapter directly to the DC-in port on the Thin Tablet 312 or
through the DC-in port on the Desktop Cradle while the Thin
Tablet 312 is docked to the Cradle.
