STEP 3 STEP 4 & 5
STEP 1
First determine what type of connection
you require for the serial port. We offer
2 different wire harnesses, a non-nullmodem (Black) and null modem (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 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 G PCB & the 11 qty. connector
housing to the H PCB. Connect the 3
wire socket on the G PCB to the pins on
the F PCB. Make certain that the label
marked “TOP FACING” is toward you
as shown in the STEP 1 photo.
Step 3 Install C PCB & D PCB into B cover and secure D PCB with J screw.
Make certain that the 3 pins in B cover align with the 3 holes in D PCB. cover with
the 2 screws (C).
Step 4 With iPAQ device still installed in A housing attach B cover with A housing
using L screws. Note; make certain screws are properly aligned and DON’T
OVER TIGHTEN.
Step 5 Attach G side arms with H screws and nuts. With iPAQ device installed in
A housing, G adjust arms and GENTLY tighten screws. Note, insert 4 qty.
business cards between the side arms and the iPAQ device to provide the proper
clearance for easy use.
Your RAM Powered Docking Cradle is now ready for use.

Step 2 Before the proceeding look at the pictures in Step 2 and specifically how the
E PCB is attached to A housing. Check the E PCB Application Chart to see what M
washers are required for your iPAQ model. Install the K screws in E PCB along with
the nuts & appropriate colored washers M to properly space the E PCB to align with
the iPAQ device. Make certain to have the K screws, nuts & correct M washers on
the correct side of the PCB. The K nut must have a M washer under it or the PCB
may be damaged. IMPORTANT: DON’T OVER TIGHTEN ANY NUTS, OR
SCREWS IN THE REMAINING STEPS. Insert the iPAQ device into the cradle and
carefully align the E PCB into the mating connector. The 2 qty K hex head screws
will slide into the A housing. Make certain the E PCB is fully engaged into the iPAQ
device and then gently tighten the K nylock nuts.
