Serial connector Connects your companion to the cradle, which in turn connects to the back of your computer and through the AC adapter to the wall current. This allows you to recharge your WorkPad c3 companion as well as update the information between your companion and computer using HotSync technology.

Note: The cradle must be plugged into the serial (COM) port at the back of your computer.

Danger: To avoid a shock hazard, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

Your WorkPad c3 companion requires a dedicated port. It cannot share a port with an internal modem or other device. If you are unsure about the exact location of the serial port on your computer, refer to the user’s manual supplied with the computer.
