STEP 1
Firstdeterminewhattypeofconnection
you require for the serial port. We offer
2 different wire harnesses, a non-null-

to the powered docking cradle. Once
determined, select the appropriate
colored wire harness and attach it to
the corresponding PCB’s G & H as
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
