4. Connecting Power Supply to Cradle
4.1 HA-H60IO
Use the dedicated AC adaptor (AD-S42120B) for supplying power to the HA-H60IO USB Cradle.
Ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to the cradle before starting communication between the
IT-800 and PC via the cradle. Follow the steps below to connect the power supply to the IT-800
using the dedicated AC adaptor.
1. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC adaptor jack where "DCIN12V" is printed on the back of the
cradle.
Figure 4.1
2. After connecting the power cable to the AC adaptor, plug in the plug to an electrical outlet.
Figure 4.2
3. Make sure the selector switch on the back of the cradle is set to position B.
Figure 4.3
19

4. Connect a USB cable (DT-380USB) to the USB client port on the back of the cradle, and then
connect the other end of the cable to the PC. USB host port is used when connecting the cradle
with other USB peripheral devices.
Figure 4.4
5. Align the USB cradle mount holes on the back of the IT-800 with the mount hooks on the cradle
after aligning the power/signal contacts on the bottom of the IT-800 with the power/signal
contacts of the cradle. The power LED on the front of the cradle will light green if the IT-800 has
been properly mounted.
Figure 4.5
Status of Indicator 1 on IT-800
Orange : Charging
Red : Standby due to battery pack error or the surrounding temperature is out of the range (charging
begins when the temperature returns within the correct range.)
Green : Charging complete
Notes:
• Always remove the IT-800 from the cradle when switching the selector switch on the cradle.
• Never short the power/signal contacts of the cradle. This damages the cradle.
• Do not subject the IT-800 and cradle to vibration or impact during communication. This results
in communication being interrupted.
• When mounting the IT-800, securely attach it to the mount hooks of the cradle and check that
the power LED on the front of the cradle lights green. Charging the battery pack or
communication will not proceed if it is not mounted properly.
