Using The Docking Station

3.1 Using The Docking Station

This chapter describes the docking station. The docking station is used as a convenient “drop-in” holder for the netpad, supplying power and communications through the docking station connector.

3.1.1 Docking Station

The netpad docking station provides a permanently connected holder for the netpad. The power jack is on the front and the serial communication sockets are situated at the right of the docking station. The connector to the netpad faces upwards from the middle of the station. This connector mates with the connector on the underside of the netpad, and provides both power and serial communications.

Place the netpad in the docking station and it will begin charging.
