STEP 1
First determine what type of connection
yourequirefortheserialport. Weoffer2
different wire harnesses, a non-null-
modem (KBlack) and null modem (L
Red). To determine what type you
require, contact the manufacturer of
your electronic device that you are
attaching to the powered docking
cradle. Once determined, select the
appropriate colored wire harness and
attachitto thecorresponding PCB’sG&
Has shown in the STEP 1 photo. Note,
the ends have different numbers of
connectors so they can’t be reversed.
Attach the 10 qty. connector socket to
the GPCB & the 11 qty. connector
housing to the HPCB. Connect the 3
wire socket on the GPCB to the pins on
the FPCB. Make certain that the label
marked “TOP FACING” is toward you
asshownintheSTEP1photo.
Assemble power PCB (F) on the three
corresponding pins on the housing (A)
asshowninSTEP2photo.
AssembleInput / Output PCB (G)to the
two slotted posts on housing (A) as
shown in STEP 3 photo. Note: pre-
bend the wire harness to aid in holding
the PCB’s in place and note the
directionpathofthewires.
Using a pointer, or similar device, insert
it through the serial port hole in plastic
cover (B) to aid in holding the PCB’s in
place while aligning and attaching the
cover with the 2 screws (C). Gently
snug the screws until the cover (B)
toucheshousing(A).
The iPAQ Male PCB (H) has 2 different
sizedconnectors. Before assembly, try
the connector into your device to
determine which one is to be used.
Once that is determined, look on
housing (A) to see the Small & Large
lettering to indicate the side that the
PCB will be on. Then assemble it as
shown in STEP 4 photo. Note: pre-
bend the wire harness to aid in holding
the PCB’s in place and note the
directionpathofthewires.
