14 Connections, Cleaning, and Charging ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels l
Power Supply
ViewPoints are furnished with a 12 VDC power supply that can supply power either
directly to the ViewPoint touch panel or indirectly through the VPA-DS ViewPort
Docking Station.
ViewPort Docking Station
The ViewPort Docking Station (Figure 11) provides a built-in battery charger and an
angled desk docking station to cradle your ViewPoint touch panel. When a View-
Point is placed in the docking station's cradle, the ViewPoint makes contact with the
charging pins and power is supplied by the docking station.
When a touch panel is not cradled on the docking station, a battery can be charged
when placed within the charging compartment. When a touch panel is cradled on the
docking station, all power is fed to the touch panel. A battery that was charging is no
longer supplied with power until the ViewPoint is removed from the docking sta-
tion's cradle.
