Connecting the AC Adapter
When using your MobilePro H/PC for long periods or when using PC cards or Compact Flash cards, or when using the
internal modem, we recommend using the AC adapter. Using AC power saves battery life for when you are on the go and
helps prevent data loss.
CAUTION
Follow these precautions whenever you use the AC adapter and the MobilePro.
When using the AC adapter, make sure the AC outlet is near the MobilePro and easily accessible.
Keep the main batteries installed when running on AC power. You cannot power up the MobilePro H/PC without the main
batteries installed.
Check that the installed batteries have power. You cannot power on the unit using AC power if a low-battery message
appears.
When communicating or sending transmissions for a long time, use the AC adapter to conserve power.
Connect the AC adapter as follows:
Insert the plug on the AC adapter cable into the AC power port on the left side of the MobilePro.
Plug the AC adapter into a working AC outlet.
Power on the MobilePro.
Connecting the Direct Connection Cable
The Direct Connection Cable lets you connect the MobilePro directly to a desktop or notebook computer. Connect the
cable as follows:
Opening the serial port cover
Locate the serial port cover on the MobilePro, and open it.
Align and attach the connector on the Direct Connection Cable to the serial port on the MobilePro.
Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on your desktop or notebook computer.
