If you are connecting the serial converter to an H/PC
(handheld PC), you must use a null modem cable
with two male 9-pin sub-miniature D connectors.
These must be purchased separately.
Important: To provide proper termination of the serial cable shield, the
chassis of the computer should be properly grounded. If it is
not possible or practical to ground this, then a ground wire
should be connected to the serial cable shield at the shell of
the 9-pin sub-miniature D connector.
