Using The Charge/Comm Cable - Honeywell Dolphin 7850 User Manual

Using the Charge/Comm Cable

The Charge/Comm cable charges the terminal and communicates with a host workstation. There are
three connectors: one connects the terminal to an external power source, another to the host workstation,
and another to the terminal itself.
The charge/comm cable is actually two cables: a power cable and a communication cable. You can use
it to charge only, communicate only or connect the cables to each other to charge and communicate at
the same time.
