Get to know your handheld — Handheld components 21
When you receive a new message and remove the handheld from
the holster within five seconds, notification (based on how you've
set it) stops and the most recently received message will be open. If
you pull the handheld out of the holster and quickly replace it,
notification stops but the message will remain marked unread. See
"Setting message notification" on page 39 for information on
notification options.
Serial port
The serial port on the bottom of the handheld fits into the prongs of
the charging cradle. You must connect the cradle to your PC to use
the Desktop Software (provided on the CD with your package).
The Desktop Software supports standard USB-to-serial port
converters. See Chapter 3, "Using the Desktop Software" for more
information on installation procedures and serial connection details.

Charging cradle

The charging cradle provides a link between the handheld and your
PC, so that you may use the Desktop Software provided with your
package. See Chapter 3, "Using the Desktop Software" for more
information on the cradle and the capabilities of the Desktop
Software.
If you are using a rechargeable NiMH battery, you can use the
charging cradle and accompanying AC adapter to recharge the
battery. If the handheld is correctly placed in the charging cradle,
the AC adapter is plugged in, and the handheld is using a valid
NiMH rechargeable battery, the battery will be recharged.
