require, contact the manufacturer of your electronic device that you are attaching to the powered docking cradle. Once determined, select the appropriate colored wire harness and attach it to the corresponding PCB’s G & H as shown in the STEP 1 photo. Note, the ends have different numbers of connectors so they can’t be reversed.

The iPAQ Male PCB (H) has 2 different sized connectors. Before assembly, try the connector into your device to determine which one is to be used. Once that is determined, look on

STEP 5

Attach the 10 qty. connector socket to the G PCB & the 11 qty. connector housing to the H PCB. Connect the 3 wire socket on the G PCB to the pins on the F PCB. Make certain that the label marked “TOP FACING” is toward you as shown in the STEP 1 photo.
