Using the PT Dock

Using the PT Dock

Set up the PT Dock as described in the preceding section. Place the PT2000 or TopGun into the dock, with the keypad facing out. To use a power adapter or the keyboard wedge configuration, the green LED labeled READY on the front panel of the PT Dock should light up. (If the READY light does not come on, make sure the POWER light is on and the portable is fully inserted into the dock. If it still doesn’t work, make sure the PT Dock adapter is securely attached to the portable and that the contacts in the dock are clean.)

When the portable is in the Dock, the user may download programs or data to it, or upload data from it, just as if it were connected directly to a workstation. The user can also leave the unit in the dock while using an attached bar code reader.

Recharging the Portable’s Batteries

Note: Use the keyboard wedge connection or the power adapter to recharge the batteries.

When using a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery pack in the portable, use the PT Dock to recharge it. Leave the battery pack in the portable while it is in the dock. The battery pack and the backup battery will be recharged while the READY light is on. (Refer to page page 116 to make sure Switch 2 in the portable’s battery compartment is correctly positioned.)

Maintenance

With normal use, the PT Dock should require no maintenance. To clean the contacts in the Dock or on the adapter, wipe them with a damp cloth after removing the power supply (adapter or keyboard wedge cable) from the unit. Wait for the contacts to dry before using the PT Dock again.
