Using the A2-A3 Ethernet Multi Dock
1. The ethernet dock is a freestanding desktop base.
It can also be mounted to a horizontal surface. To
mount the dock, drill three holes in a horizontal
line 10 7/8” (27.65 cm) apart through the mounting
surface. Screw #6-32 screws through the mounting
surface and up into the threaded holes in the dock’s
base plate.
Note: The screws should not penetrate the dock
more than 1/4”.
2. Handhelds must have a docking I/O module. The
module has docking pin contacts as shown below:
If you have a standard I/O module, replace it with a
docking I/O module (ordered separately).
3. To use an Archer2/Archer3with the dock, install the
insert as shown below.
4. Provide power to the doc using the AC power cord
and adapter. Plug the power cord into an AC power
supply and the power adapter into the power input
jack on the dock.
5. If a handheld has a connector protector, open it to
reveal the connector ports. Pull it back.
6. Insert the handheld into the dock as shown below
(keypad facing forward). Align the docking pins on
the dock with the contacts on the handheld I/O
module.
7. When inserted, a red LED on the handheld turns on,
indicating the handheld is properly docked and
ready to communicate over the network.
8. For networking, use an ethernet cable to connect
the dock to an ethernet switch or to an internal
network.
9. Use communication software to communicate with
the handhelds over an ethernet network. Follow the
instructions included with the software.
10. Handhelds can be used when they are in the dock.
The keys and display are accessible.

Connecting Docks Together
You can daisy-chain multiple and/or single docks
together using the ethernet ports and ethernet cables.
For the network installation, consult your network
administrator. Avoid long chains of more than ve docks
or switches in a series (including the upstream network
switches).
Maintenance and Environmental Issues
The ethernet dock is intended for indoor use only.
Temperatures should be between 0°C to 50°C. Avoid
using the dock in situations where water can enter the
connector ports. It is not sealed against water and
must be kept dry, although it sheds moisture that is on
handhelds when placed into the dock.
Do not touch the docking pins (spring loaded contacts)
with conductive items when power is applied to the
dock.
Do not drop items on the dock that can damage the
pins.
Keep debris off of the docking pins and the connectors
to maintain the best performance.
Wall Charger Warnings
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electrical shock, re or damage to the equipment:
Plug the charger into an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging
the wall charger from the electrical outlet.
Do not place anything on the charger cord or any of
the other cables. Arrange them so that no one may
accidentally step on or trip over them.
Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging the
charger from the electrical outlet, pull on the plug, not
the cord.
Use only the charger supplied with the dock. Any other
external power source can damage your product and
void your warranty.
