Lynx™ Four Slot Dock

Read this manual carefully before performing any
type of connection from the terminal to a host PC
using the Four Slot Dock.

NOTE

The Four Slot Dock paired with a Lynx PDA builds a reading
system for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcode
data.
The Four Slot Dock can charge both the terminals and the spare
batteries at the same time. The spare batteries (both standard
capacity battery 94ACC0064 and high capacity battery
94ACC0065) can be charged by inserting them into the slots at
the back of the cradle.
The Four Slot Dock comes in two different models, the Charger
(94A150037) and the Ethernet (94A150054).

The Ethernet model also provides Ethernet connection for data
transfer via local area networks.

PDA INSERTION/ REMOVAL

For correct insertion into the cradle, insert the mobile computer
from the top of the cradle and push it down.

To remove the mobile computer from the cradle, simply pull it
upwards while holding the cradle firmly down.

Power Supply

Each 4SD requires a power supply to be connected to mobile
computers. We recommend the power supply already included i n
the box.

ETHERNET CONNECTION

The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Lynx and
initiate automatically when the terminal is placed in a properly
connected Four Slot Dock Ethernet.

When the PDA is inserted into the Four Slot Dock Ethernet, the
connectivity icon on the taskbar indicates that the mobile
computer is connected to a network.

The maximum bandwidth capacity for each
Mobile Computer is 12Mbps.

NOTE

The yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to
indicate that a link is established. When it is not lit it ind icates that
there is no link.

Connections should always be made with power
OFF!

CAUTION

How to connect

Connect the Ethernet cradle (Ethernet port 1 - E) to an Ethernet hub
or to a port on the host device. Connect the Ethernet cradle (power
port - F) to the power supply.

Daisychaining Ethernet Connection

To connect several cradles to an Ethernet network, the Ethernet
cradles may be daisychained. It is recommended not to connect
more than 4 cradles in order to maintain the optimal baud rate.

Connect the first Ethernet cradle to the Ethernet Switch. Connect the
additional cradles as shown in Figure 7.

DOCK CONTACTS CLEANING PROCEDURE

All exterior metal contacts/connectors exposed to spills, dirt or debris
accumulation require periodic cleaning to ensure best performance
during charging and data transmission.

Use a soft, lint-free dry cloth or lens tissue to clean the product
(contacts and plastics). An antistatic cloth is preferable but you can
also use a cotton cloth. Avoid wool, synthetic cloths or other
materials that can cause electrostatic discharges.

If the contacts are very dirty, clean them with a soft cloth moistened
with a diluted non-aggressive cleaning solution or a diluted isopropyl
alcohol solution (20% maximum). A cotton swab may be used only
on hard-to-reach contacts.

Clean the contacts when you see traces of dirt or when you
experience solid connection issues between the terminal and its
dock (device not charging or intermittent communications). It is
however suggested to clean the contacts every 6 months (more
often if the environment is dusty).

If the plastic areas are very dirty use only a cloth dampened with
water.

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents
or abrasive pads to clean electric contacts, scan

CAUTION

windows or plastics.

Cleaning the Dock Contacts

1. Remove the power cable before cleaning the contacts.

2. Use a soft dry cloth as suggested above. If the product is very
dirty, moisten the cloth in a non-aggressive cleaning solution or
diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum).

3. Gently rub the cloth back and forth ONLY along the contacts,
following the directions indicated by the red arrows. Use care
not to leave any cloth residue.



4. Use a dry cloth to remove any dirt near the contacts area and to
clean the plastic parts. If the plastic parts of the equipment are
very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with only water.

5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 using a clean dry cloth.

6. Allow the cleaning solution to fully evaporate before powering
up the product.

Cleaning the Dock Auxiliary Battery Contacts

1. Remove the power cable and the Ethernet module before
cleaning the contacts.

2. Use a soft dry cloth as suggested above. If the product is very
dirty, moisten the cloth in a non-aggressive cleaning solution or
diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum).

3. Gently rub the cloth back and forth ONLY along the contacts,
following the directions indicated by the red arrows. Use care
not to leave any cloth residue.

4. Use a dry cloth to remove any dirt near the contacts area and to
clean the plastic parts. If the plastic parts of the equipment are
very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with only water.

5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 using a clean dry cloth.

6. Allow the cleaning solution to fully evaporate before powering
up the product.
