The ThinkPad Ultrabay Plus Cradle for the WorkPad c500 Series (hereafter called

serves as a base for WorkPad.
This option kit includes the following:
vUltrabay Plus Cradle for the WorkPad c500 Series
Installation requirements
To install the Cradle, you must have the following:
1. A ThinkPad computer with a drive bay for attaching Ultrabay Plus devices.
2. A ThinkPad Ultrabay Plus Device Carrier, installed in the drive bay.
3. Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating
system.
4. WorkPad Palm DeskTop software: You need to install the software by using
the CD-ROM included in the WorkPad kit. Follow the instructions given in
the user’s guide for the WorkPad.

Installing the Cradle
Because the Cradle has to be connected to the connector of the ThinkPad
Ultrabay Plus Device Carrier, install the Device Carrier first, following the
instructions in the user’s guide for the ThinkPad Ultrabay Plus Device Carrier.
After installing the Device Carrier into the drive bay, do as follows:
1. Remove the Ultrabay Plus device connector protection cap from the Device
Carrier.
2. Plug the Cradle connector to the Ultrabay Plus device connector of the
Device Carrier. See the diagram below.
3. Press down the Cradle, and then slide the Ultrabay device lock mechanism
backward to lock the Cradle.
4. The Cradle has a “HotSync” button like the one on the HotSync cradle that
came with your WorkPad. See your WorkPad user’s guide for details on the
operation and function of the button.
Note: If your ThinkPad computer is operated by battery power and the Cradle
and the WorkPad are attached to the computer, the WorkPad is charged
from the battery. This shortens the length of time that the computer can
operate by battery power.

Installing the WorkPad Palm DeskTop software
The first time you connect the WorkPad to the ThinkPad computer through the
drive bay, you need to install the WorkPad Palm DeskTop software. Follow the
instructions in the user’s guide for the WorkPad.
If you have already installed the WorkPad Palm DeskTop software and used
WorkPad with the USB cradle, you do not need to install this software again.
