3.1 Using The Docking Station

The netpad docking station provides a permanently connected "drop-in" holder for
the netpad, supplying power for device operation, battery charging, and communi-
cations. The power jack is on the front and the serial communication sockets are sit-
uated at the right of the docking station. The connector to the netpad faces upwards
from the middle of the station. This connector mates with the connector on the
underside of the netpad to provide power.
For serial port pinouts, please see "Serial Pinouts And Cables" on page 45. For
details on a vehicle-mount for the docking station, please refer to "The In-vehicle
Docking Station" on page 162.
Place the netpad in the docking station and it will begin charging.
