Mx3 Cradles; Introduction - LXE MX3 Series Reference Manual

Introduction

There are two types of cradles for LXE's MX3 family of mobile devices: a desk top cradle for
tabletop charging / communication applications and a vehicle mount cradle for vehicle mounted
charging / communication applications.
The cradles give the MX3 family of mobile devices the ability to communicate with a host
computer and other equipment. In addition, using wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters, the
cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the mobile device and the device, in
turn, recharges the Main Battery. The mobile device can be either on or off while in the cradle.
Cables are available from LXE for connecting the cradle to a printer, a desktop PC or laptop, or a
barcode printer. Tethered scanners (for RS-232 serial port connection) are also available from
LXE.
The vehicle cradle should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
