Introduction

This manual describes the set up and operation of the PS6SMC3000M & PS6SMC70M Single slot modem and USB charging cradles. These cradles serve as essential data communications devices, enabling you to communicate between your Symbol

®

MC3000, MC3100, MC70 and 75 series mobile computer and your network. The cradles also charge both your terminal and a spare battery – all while performing communication operations via a USB or modem connection.

There are three connection ports on the rear of the cradles:

USB/Modem Charging Cradle 1

Setting up your cradle

Setting up your cradle is easy and includes only these simple steps.

1. Power Connection

2. Communication Connection: a. Connect the USB cable to another USB device (host or peripheral), or b. Connect the Modem cable (if you want to communicate with a remote location via a modem)

Power Connection

To connect power to your cradle:

1: Connect the barrel end of the power adapter into the power jack on the rear of the cradle.

2: Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the power adapter.

3: Connect the power cord into a US standard AC outlet.

imPorTanT: The cradles are compatible with the power adapters used by Symbol’s cradles.

Replacement power adapters are also available from Portsmith.

USB/Modem Charging Cradle 2

Operating the Cradle

The cradle helps you perform three basic functions:

1. Communication

2. Charge your handheld terminal

3. Charge your spare battery

Direct Communication with your Host Computer or a USB Device

To connect your terminal with your host computer or a USB device, follow these simple steps:

1. Ensure switch is set to USB (not applicable to MC3000M). Switch is on bottom of unit.

2. Plug the USB Mini-B connector into the Mini-AB connector on the rear of the cradle.

3. Plug the USB Standard-A connector into a USB port on your computer.

Once you have the cradle connected to the host device, insert the handheld terminal into the cradle. Now you can communicate with your host device to transmit, or synchronize, data. You can even browse the internet if the host device is connected to a network with internet access.

imPorTanT: You can confirm that you are correctly connected by performing an ActiveSync operation.

ActiveSync software is provided with your Symbol handheld terminal. Instructions for using ActiveSync are in your Symbol documentation. Once your ActiveSync partnership has been established, you can communicate with any networked computer or the internet (if your network has internet access).

USB/Modem Charging Cradle 3

Communication through a Modem

To connect your terminal with data on a corporate database or another device via your network, follow these simple steps:

1. Set switch on MC70 to Network

2. Connect one RJ11 end of a standard telephone cable to the RJ11 connector on the back of the cradle.

3. Connect the other RJ11 end into your wall telephone port.

Once you have the cradle connected to the network, insert the handheld terminal into the cradle. Now you can communicate with remote locations to transmit, or synchronize, data.

USB/Modem Charging Cradle 4

Charging Your Handheld Terminal’s Battery

1. Ensure the cradle is powered on.

2. Insert the terminal in the cradle as shown.

a. The Terminal Battery Charge LED will

“Slow Blink Amber” to indicate that the terminal is charging.

b. When the terminal has completed charging, the light will turn “Solid Amber” to indicate the battery is fully charged

(approximately 4 hours).

c. If the terminal shows a “Fast Blinking

Amber” light, there is an error in charging. Reseat the terminal in the cradle to see if that fixes the issue.

d. If you do not see a charging light, the terminal may not be placed in the cradle correctly, or the cradle may not have any power.

Charging Your Spare Battery

To charge the terminal’s spare battery:

1. Orient the battery so that the charging contacts are facing down and toward the right side of the cradle

2. Insert the battery in the spare battery charging slot in the rear of the cradle as shown. Then gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.

a. The Spare Battery Charge LED will “Slow Blink

Red” to indicate the battery is charging.

b. When the LED turns “Solid Red” the battery is fully charged. A standard battery is fully charged in less than

4 hours and less than 6 hours for the Extended Life Battery.

c. If the LED shows a “Fast Blinking

Red” you have a problem with charging. Check to see if the spare battery is inserted correctly.
