The Trakker Antares

TD2410 Communications Dock is an accessory for the

Trakker Antares 2410 and 2415 Handheld Terminals. Use the communications

dock to:

• transfer data and applications to and from another device using RS-232 serial

communications.

• charge the standard (single-cell) or high-performance (dual-cell) lithium-ion

battery packs.

Use this illustration to locate the important parts of the communications dock.

Setting Up the Communications Dock

Before setting up the communications dock, you need to choose a flat, stable,

and clean surface that is within 1.5 m (5 ft) of an electrical source. You need the

following equipment:

• External power supply (P/N 065236 or P/N 073941)

• AC power cord (see “Ordering Power Cords” later in this guide)

• RS-232 null-modem cable (P/N 059167)

Each of these accessories is ordered or purchased separately. For help, contact

your Intermec sales representative.

To set up the dock for RS-232 communications

1. Connect the external power supply to the power connector on the underside

of the dock.

2. Route the external power supply out the back. Refer to the illustration

below.

3. Connect the other end of the external power supply to the power cord.

4. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet.

5. Insert the 9-pin RS-232 connector into the COM port on the underside of the

dock.

6. Route the RS-232 cable over the external power supply, across the dock, and

out the back. Refer to the illustration below.

7. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to a serial device.

Attaching the Communications Dock to Your Desk

Use the mounting bracket that comes with your communications dock to attach

the communications dock to your desk.

You need the following equipment to attach the communications dock to your

desk:

• Mounting bracket (provided)

• Two #8 Phillips head machine screws (provided)

• Two #8 screws (not provided)

• Phillips screwdriver (not provided)

• Drill (not provided)

To attach the communications dock to your desk

1. Remove and set aside the two machine screws taped to the mounting

bracket.

2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark where you need to drill the

holes in your desk, remove the mounting bracket, and drill the holes.

3. Align the mounting bracket with the screws and holes in the underside of the

dock and insert the mounting bracket into the underside of the dock. See the

illustration on the next page.

4. Attach the mounting bracket to the dock using a Phillips screwdriver and the

two machine screws that came with the bracket.

5. Align the dock and mounting bracket with the holes in your desk and attach

the dock and mounting bracket to the desk with two #8 screws.

6. Connect the external power supply to the dock and an AC outlet. For help,

see the previous section, “Setting Up the Communications Dock.”

7. Connect the RS-232 cable to the dock and to a serial device. For help, see

the previous section, “Setting Up the Communications Dock.”

Inserting the Terminal Into the Communications Dock

After you have connected a power cord and RS-232

cable and mounted the dock to your desk, you are

ready to insert the terminal into the dock and start using

it. You can insert a terminal with a handle or handstrap

attached.

To use the communications dock

1. Line up the connector on the bottom of the

terminal with the connector on the

communications dock.

2. Carefully seat the connector on the bottom of the

terminal into the connector on the communications

dock.

3. Press _ to turn on the terminal.

Note: You must have a battery pack installed in

the terminal for all operations.

4. Start the application on the terminal.

Understanding the Status LEDs

The communications dock has four status LEDs that indicate the current status.

Status LED State Indicates

Transmit Blinking yellow The terminal in the communications

dock is sending data.

Receive Blinking yellow The terminal in the communications

dock is receiving data.

Charging Yellow The battery pack is charging.

Blinking yellow The battery pack is bad.

Charging complete Green The battery pack is charged.

Charging the Battery Pack

You can charge the battery pack while it is inside the terminal or you can charge

an extra battery pack in the battery slot. In either situation, the battery pack

requires the same amount of time to charge.

You can charge either the standard or high performance battery packs. The

charging times indicate the maximum amount of time to charge a fully discharged

battery. It may take less time depending on the state of the battery charge.

Battery Pack Charging Time

1350 mAh single-cell standard (P/N 069428) 1.25 hours

2700 mAh dual-cell high performance (P/N 069429) 2.5 hours

2400 mAh single-cell standard (P/N 073929) 5 hours

4800 mAh dual-cell high performance (P/N 073930) 9 hours

The battery pack takes longer to charge if the battery pack is inside the terminal

and you are using the terminal. It also takes longer to charge the battery pack at

more extreme temperatures.

You should always have a battery pack in the terminal to prevent the loss of data

stored in RAM memory.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to establish a good connection, you may need to:

• Set the same serial port parameters for the terminal and the serial device.

• Connect the correct RS-232 null-modem cable.

• Connect the dock to AC power.

• Ensure that the electrical outlet has power.

• Insert the terminal firmly in the dock.

• Clean the contacts on the dock and the terminal using a cotton swab and

isopropyl alcohol.
