The HX3 is a small, lightweight mobile computer designed to be worn on a person’s arm or waist. An optional HX3 desktop cradle is available to: l secure the HX3 with or without a rubber boot, l recharge a tethered HX3 battery and a spare battery (both locations accept Standard and Extended batteries), l provide storage for the tethered Ring Scanner when the HX3 is docked, l and enable serial communication with USB devices (host, client, and other USB cabled devices). The HX3 cradle is available with or without a power cord. If ordered without a power cord, a C14 style power cord is required. Communications cables for the HX3 a ...

Unpacking Your Desktop Cradle After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: l Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton. l Make sure the items in the carton match your order. l Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Each battery pack has one side alignment rib wider than the other to ensure the battery pack is inserted in the battery charging bay easily. This design ensures the battery charging terminals line up with the charging terminals in each charging bay. Standard Battery Extended Battery Note: When a battery pack is not in use, lay the battery pack contact-side up in a protected environment. When feasible, protect the battery from ESD and contamination. Any dust or moisture that adheres to the tether connector can potentially cause damage upon cable re-connection.

Honeywell offers two types of external power supplies for the cradle: l Power Supply, External, AC, US (with power cable) l Power Supply, External AC, International (without power cable) Contact Technical Assistance if the AC power cable is not included with the power supply. The external power supply may be connected to either a 120V, 60Hz supply or, outside North America, to a 230V, 50Hz supply, using the appropriate detachable cord set. In both cases, connect the external power supply 2-prong end to a source of power provided with m ...

Note: Route all cables to ensure they are protected from jostling, tugging or being disconnected by passing objects. The cradle must be receiving power from an external power source before HX3 battery charging can begin. USB Cable Prerequisite: The steps outlined in Connect the Power Cable have been completed and the cradle has a dependable power source. The cradle provides 5V to the USB Host connector (0.5A) to allow interfacing with an external USB keyboard or USB pointing device through the cradle. USB Client connections do not receive power through the cradle. Requires Cable Type: 1. USB A Host e.g., scanner 2. USB B Cli ...

The serial cable port is located on the back of the cradle. Only approved Honeywell cables are to be used for serial communication between the cradle and external devices. Contact Technical Assistance for availability. Connect a female DB9 connector to the male DB9 serial port on the back of the cradle. The connection should be finger tight. The DB9M cradle connector provides limited RS232 functionality, as the following pinout table shows. Pin Signal Pin 1 Not Connected Pin 2 RXD Pin 3 TXD Pin 4 Not Connected Pin 5 Ground Pin ...
