1. An external antenna can be ordered to
expand the coverage of the cradle’s
MicroRadio. Coverage increases from
50 ft (15.2 m) with a standard internal
antenna to 100 ft (30.5 m) with an
external antenna.
2. This bay holds a PTC-921 spare battery
pack for recharging. The bay fast charges
a fully discharged spare pack in 4 hours.
3. This bay holds a PTC-921 and recharges
the battery pack within it. The bay can
be ordered as a 4-hour fast charger or
as a 12- to 16-hour trickle charger.
4. These LEDs indicate the charging status of

communicating via its MicroRadio.
7. This LED glows when the MRC-921 is
communicating via its DB-9 serial port or
optional RJ-41 serial port.
