Be sure to turn off the CASSIOPEIA and your computer before connecting the cradle.

The cradle is equipped with a 9-pin serial connector, so you can connect it to a computer using a separately available straight type serial cable. Note that some computers may require a 25-pin connector.

Do not have the serial cable and USB cable connected to the cradle at the same time. When using one, be sure to unplug the other.

USB Cable Connection

Use the USB cable as shown below.
