Datalogic Elf/Falcon X3 User manual

Elf™/Falcon™ X3 Single Slot Dock
NOTE
Read this manual carefully before performing any type of
connection from the terminal to a host PC using the
Single Slot Dock.
The user is responsible for any damages caused by
incorrect use of the equipment or by inobservance of the
indication supplied in this manual.
NOTE
Do not attempt to disassemble the Single Slot Dock, as it
does not contain parts that can be repaired by the user.
Any tampering will invalidate the warranty.
The Single Slot Dock paired with an Elf PDA or a Falcon X3 mobile
computer builds a reading system for the collection, decoding and
transmission of barcoded data.
The Single Slot Dock is both a USB and a serial communication adapter
between the terminal and the host computer.
The Single Slot Dock also functions as a battery charger, both for the
terminal and the spare battery pack. The spare battery can be charged by
inserting it into the slot at the back of the cradle.
Power supply is required for the Elf or the Falcon X3 to be connected to
the cradle and for battery recharging operations.
