Using the Cradle
The cradle provides quick and easy connection between your CASSIOPEIA and a
computer.
• Your CASSIOPEIA can be powered by AC power when it is placed on the cradle.
• The battery pack charges while the CASSIOPEIA is on the cradle. See page 33 for
more information.
• The cradle is equipped with a USB-A connector that you can use to connect another
USB device.
Important
Before connecting your CASSIOPEIA to a computer, make sure you first install the
ActiveSync on your computer.
Connecting the Cradle to a Computer
The cradle has a USB cable for connection to a computer. Connect the end of the cable
to a USB port of the computer to which you want to connect.
Important
• See “Required System Configuration” on page 44 for details on the type of computer
system required for use with the cradle.
• The above illustration is one example of possible connection configurations. The
locations and layouts of USB ports vary from computer to computer. See the
documentation that comes with your computer for full details on connecting cables to
it.
• Note that after connecting the cradle to your computer, you also need to make certain
ActiveSync settings on your computer to enable data transfers. See the ActiveSync
Help for details about setting up and using ActiveSync.
