Recharging the Battery

The battery (VPA-BP) can be recharged by connecting the 13.5 VDC power supply to the power
jack on the side of the ViewPoint (FIG. 1). The battery can also be charged on the ViewPort
docking station. The docking station is a more effective method of charging the batteries. Refer to
the VPA-DS ViewPort Docking Station section on page 49 for more information about charging
batteries on the ViewPort docking station.

Using Connector Ports

All ViewPoints have two connectors (FIG. 2). The power jack is for connecting an external 13.5
VDC power supply for ViewPoint operation and charging. The programming jack is used for
communication between the ViewPoint touch panel and TPDesign3. The programming jack uses a
three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo jack. The required cable and power supply comes furnished with the
ViewPoint.
