Lynx™ Four Slot Dock

NOTE

Read this manual carefully before performing any type of connection from the terminal to a host PC using the Four Slot Dock.

The user is responsible for any damages caused by incorrect use of the equipment or by inobservance of the indication supplied in this manual.

The Four Slot Dock paired with a Lynx PDA builds a reading system for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcode data.

The Four Slot Dock can charge both the terminals and the spare batteries at the same time. The spare batteries (both standard capacity battery 94ACC0064 and high capacity battery

94ACC0065) can be charged by inserting them into the slots at the back of the cradle.

The Four Slot Dock comes in two different models, the Charger

(94A150037) and the Ethernet (94A150054).

The Ethernet model also provides Ethernet connection for data transfer via local area networks.

PDA INSERTION/ REMOVAL

For correct insertion into the cradle, insert the mobile computer from the top of the cradle and push it down.

To remove the mobile computer from the cradle, simply pull it upwards while holding the cradle firmly down.

ETHERNET CONNECTION



The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Lynx and initiate automatically when the terminal is placed in a properly connected Four Slot Dock Ethernet.

When the PDA is inserted into the Four Slot Dock Ethernet, the connectivity icon on the taskbar indicates that the mobile computer is connected to a network.

NOTE

The maximum bandwidth capacity for each

Mobile Computer is 12Mbps.

The yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to indicate that a link is established. When it is not lit it indicates that there is no link.

CAUTION

Connections should always be made with power

OFF!

How to connect

Connect the Ethernet cradle (Ethernet port 1 - E) to an Ethernet hub or to a port on the host device. Connect the Ethernet cradle (power port - F) to the power supply.

Daisychaining Ethernet Connection

To connect several cradles to an Ethernet network, the Ethernet cradles may be daisychained. It is recommended not to connect more than 4 cradles in order to maintain the optimal baud rate.

Connect the first Ethernet cradle to the Ethernet Switch. Connect the additional cradles as shown in Figure 7.

WARNING

DOCK CONTACTS CLEANING PROCEDURE

All exterior metal contacts/connectors exposed to spills, dirt or debris accumulation require periodic cleaning to ensure best performance during charging and data transmission.

Use a soft, lint-free dry cloth or lens tissue to clean the product

(contacts and plastics). An antistatic cloth is preferable but you can also use a cotton cloth. Avoid wool, synthetic cloths or other materials that can cause electrostatic discharges.

If the contacts are very dirty, clean them with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted non-aggressive cleaning solution or a diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum). A cotton swab may be used only on hard-to-reach contacts.

Clean the contacts when you see traces of dirt or when you experience solid connection issues between the terminal and its dock (device not charging or intermittent communications). It is however suggested to clean the contacts every 6 months (more often if the environment is dusty).

If the plastic areas are very dirty use only a cloth dampened with water.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive pads to clean electric contacts, scan windows or plastics.

Cleaning the Dock Contacts

1. Remove the power cable before cleaning the contacts.

2. Use a soft dry cloth as suggested above. If the product is very dirty, moisten the cloth in a non-aggressive cleaning solution or diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum).

3. Gently rub the cloth back and forth ONLY along the contacts, following the directions indicated by the red arrows. Use care not to leave any cloth residue.

Cleaning the Dock Auxiliary Battery Contacts

1. Remove the power cable and the Ethernet module before cleaning the contacts.

2. Use a soft dry cloth as suggested above. If the product is very dirty, moisten the cloth in a non-aggressive cleaning solution or diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum).

3. Gently rub the cloth back and forth ONLY along the contacts, following the directions indicated by the red arrows. Use care not to leave any cloth residue.

4. Use a dry cloth to remove any dirt near the contacts area and to clean the plastic parts. If the plastic parts of the equipment are very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with only water.

5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 using a clean dry cloth.

6. Allow the cleaning solution to fully evaporate before powering up the product.
