General Recommendations
The mobile computer should not be cradled or connected when the host computer to which it is physically
connected is started or restarted. If the mobile computer is cradled when the host computer is started/restarted, the
mobile computer attempts to connect before ActiveSync has fully loaded and a proper connection is impossible.
Follow these general guidelines for avoiding connection problems:
•
Connect only one mobile computer to the host computer at a time. (You can have more than one serial
cable/cradle or USB cable/cradle connected simultaneously.)
•
When you start or restart the host computer, wait for the start process to finish completely before cradling a
mobile computer. When you cradle the mobile computer, it is able to make the connection defined in iDockIt
settings.
