4. Connecting Power Supply to Cradle

4.1 HA-K60IO

Use the dedicated AC adaptor (AD-S15050B) for supplying power to the HA-K60IO USB Cradle. Ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to the cradle before starting communication between the DT-X8 and PC via the cradle. Follow the steps below to connect the power supply to the DT-X8 using the dedicated AC adaptor.

1. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC adaptor jack where “DCIN5V” is printed on the back of the cradle.

2. After connecting the power cable to the AC adaptor, plug in the plug to an electrical outlet.

3. Connect a USB cable (DT-380USB-A) to the USB port on the back of the cradle, and then connect the other end of the cable to the PC.

4. Align the USB cradle mount holes on the back of the DT-X8 with the mount hooks on the cradle after aligning the contacts on the bottom of the DT-X8 with the power contacts of the cradle. The power LED on the front of the cradle will light green if the DT-X8 has been properly mounted.

Status of Indicator 1 on DT-X8

Orange : Charging Red : Standby due to battery pack error or the surrounding temperature is out of the range (charging

begins when the temperature returns within the correct range.)

Green : Charging complete

Notes:

x Never short the power contacts of the cradle. This damages the cradle. x Do not subject the DT-X8 and cradle to vibration or impact during communication. This results

in communication being interrupted.

x When mounting the DT-X8, securely attach it to the mount hooks of the cradle and check that

the power LED on the front of the cradle lights green. Charging the battery pack or communication will not proceed if it is not mounted properly.

㩷

4.2 HA-K62IO

Use the dedicated AC adaptor (AD-S42120B) for supplying power to the HA-K62IO Ethernet Cradle. Ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to the cradle before starting communication between the DT-X8 and PC via the cradle. Follow the steps below to connect the power supply to the DT-X8 using the dedicated AC adaptor.

1. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC adaptor jack on the back of the Ethernet Cradle.

2. After connecting the AC adaptor to the power cable, plug in the plug of the power cable to an electrical outlet.

3. Set the selector switch on the back of the Ethernet cradle to the port that will be used. Set the switch to “LAN” to use the LAN port or to “USB” to use the USB port.

4. Before using the cradle ports, remove the caps from the ports. When using a LAN, connect one end of the LAN cable to the LAN port and the other end to the PC or hub. When using a USB connection, connect one end of the USB cable (DT-380USB-A) to the USB port and the other end to the PC.

5. Align the contacts on the underside of the DT-X8 with the power supply contacts on the Ethernet Cradle and then set the DT-X8 into the cradle so that mount holes in the back of the DT-X8 are aligned with the mount hooks on the cradle. Once the DT-X8 is properly set in the cradle, the power LED on the front of the Ethernet cradle lights green.

Status of Indicator 1 on DT-X8

Orange

 Charging

Red

 Standby due to battery pack error or the surrounding temperature is out of range

(charging begins when the temperature is within the correct range.)

Green

 Charging complete

Notes:

x Always remove the DT-X8 from the Ethernet Cradle before changing the selector switch setting. x Never short out the power contacts of the cradle. This damages the cradle. x Do not subject the DT-X8 and cradle to vibration or impact during communication. This results

in communication being interrupted.

x When mounting the DT-X8, securely attach it to the mount hooks of the cradle and check that

the power LED on the front of the cradle lights green. Charging battery pack or communication will not proceed if it is not mounted properly.

x The LAN and USB connections cannot be used concurrently. x Always cap ports that are not being used. Using the Ethernet Cradle while the ports are

uncapped can cause damage.

㩷

5. Connecting the DT-X8 to PC

To make connection establishment with PC, use one of the methods, depending on the OS your PC runs, described below.

x ActiveSync (for Windows XP or any other OS earlier)

Use the ActiveSync to connect the DT-X8 to PC if the PC runs in Windows XP or other OS earlier than Windows XP. The ActiveSync can be downloaded at the URL below.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7269173a-28bf-4cac-a682-58d32 33efb4c&DisplayLang=en

x Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista or later)

Use the Windows Mobile Device Center to connect the DT-X8 to PC if the PC runs in Windows Vista OS. The Windows Mobile Device Center (“WMDC”) can be downloaded at the URL below.

5.1 ActiveSync Connection via USB

If you have already installed ActiveSync and connected the DT-X8 to the PC via direct USB, You may skip Chapter 5.1.1. You already have the USB driver and ActiveSync in your development environment. If you do not yet have the cradle driver on your PC, download the USB driver files “wceusbsh.inf” and “wceusbsh.sys” from the CASIO web site and copy them to an appropriate folder.
