Battery Charging
The Serial Charge cable and the USB Charge cable can charge the mobile computer’s Li-ion battery. Connect the
cables as described above. The mobile computer’s Charge LED blinks amber to indicate that the battery is
charging and turns solid amber when the battery is completely charged. The Li-ion battery usually charges in less
than four hours. See Table 2-1 on page 2-5 for charging indication information.
Communication
Accessories serve as essential data communication devices, enabling the information to be synchronized on the
mobile computer with the information on the host device using ActiveSync. The mobile computer can establish
communication via serial connection and USB connection with the appropriate software and accessories.
Using one of the following accessories:
• Single Slot Serial/USB cradle
• Four Slot USB cradle
• RS-232 or USB Charging cables.
This section provides information on installing the communication software and setting up the appropriate
accessory to enable communication between the mobile computer and the host device.
For serial communications using the Single Slot Serial/USB cradle, connect only the serial cable, do not connect
both the serial cable and the USB cable. If both serial and USB communication cables are required, disable the
host computer USB port in ActiveSync before enabling serial communications.
Installing Communication Software
To successfully communicate with the host device install Microsoft Activesync (version 3.7 or higher) on the host
computer. See Chapter 3, ActiveSync for ActiveSync installation procedures.
