Quick Reference
Introduction
The Symbol Technologies CRD 1800-1000S Cradle serves as an
essential data communications device, enabling you to
synchronize the information on your SPT 1700 and SPT 1800
terminal and the Symbol Palm Terminal (SPT) Desktop software
using HotSync®technology. With customized or third party
software, it can also be used to synchronize your terminal with
corporate databases and other host computers.
This guide covers the set up and use of the CRD 1800-1000S
Cradle. For more information about the SPT 1700 and SPT 1800
terminal, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide for your
terminal.
Setting up the Cradle
Setting up the cradle involves attaching a power supply to your
cradle, connecting the cradle to your computer, and installing the
HotSync Software to enable synchronization.
Connect the power supply to the power port on the back of the
cradle, and the other end of the power supply to a wall outlet.

CRD 1800-1000S
Cradle
To connect your cradle to your computer, turn off your computer
and plug the cable from the cradle into the serial communications
port on your computer.
Note: Your cradle requires a dedicated serial communica-
tions port on your computer. It cannot share a port with
an internal modem or other device. If you are unsure
about the exact location of the serial port on your com-
puter, refer to the user’s manual supplied with the com-
puter.
Installing the HotSync®Software
Using HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the
information on your terminal with the information on your
computer. Changes you make on your terminal or in your SPT
Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.
For instructions on installing the HotSync Software, please refer to
your terminals
Product Reference Guide .
Performing a HotSync Operation for the First
Time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user
information on both the terminal and in the SPT Desktop software.
Once you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync
Manager recognizes your terminal and doesn’t ask for this
information again. If you are a System Administrator preparing
several connected terminals for a group of users, see
Creating a
Serial Port

Quick Reference
User Profile in the Product Reference Guide before performing the
following steps.
Important:You must perform your first HotSync operation with a
local, direct connection, rather than using a mo-
dem.
To perform a HotSync operation for the first time:
1. On the host computer, double-click the Palm Desktop icon
on the Windows desktop (or select Palm Desktop from the
Start menu) to start the SPT Desktop software.
2. Click the icon in the Windows System Tray to open the
HotSync Manager menu.
Tip: The Windows System Tray is usually in the lower-right
corner on your computer display. The location may
vary depending on the location of the taskbar and the
version of Windows you are using.
3. Click Local from the HotSync Manager menu to indicate that
you are using the cradle to synchronize.

Quick Reference
Important:Every terminal should have a unique name. Never
try to synchronize more than one terminal to the
same user name.
The HotSync progress window
appears on the desktop. A sim-
ilar screen displays the
HotSync progress on the termi-
nal.
7. Wait for the software to display a message indicating that the
process is complete. The length of time this takes depends
upon the amount of information being sent.
Conducting a Local HotSync Operation
After you complete the first HotSync operation, the HotSync
process is even faster and easier!
To conduct a local HotSync operation:
1. Insert the terminal in the cradle.
2. If the HotSync Manager is not running on the host computer,
start it.
3. Press the button on the front of the cradle to start the
HotSync process.
4. Wait for the software to display a message indicating that the
process is complete.
Charging the Terminal Battery
The cradle may also be used to charge the terminal lithium-ion
battery. To charge the terminal’s battery:
1. Ensure the cradle is powered on.

2. Insert the terminal in
the cradle.
The Terminal Charge LED
turns red to indicate
charging. The terminal’s
battery is fully charged after
approximately two hours.
The Terminal Charge LED
turns green when the
battery is fully charged.
Spare Battery
Charging
You may also use the
cradle to charge the
terminal’s spare battery.
To charge the terminal’s
spare battery, insert the
battery in the spare
battery charging slot in
the back of the cradle,
and gently press down
on the battery to ensure
proper contact. The
battery should be oriented so that the charging contacts are facing
down and toward the back of the cradle. The Spare Battery
Charge LED turns red to indicate charging. The battery is fully
charged after approximately two hours. The Spare Battery Charge
LED turns green when the battery is fully charged.
