input jack on the back of the Falcon Dock (refer to
Figure 24).

3. The red light-emitting diode (LED) labeled
POWER on the front
panel of the Falcon Dock should light up.
The power adapter is used only to recharge the batteries in the Falcon
31X
or
32X.
•The
Ready light indicates that the Falcon is properly inserted in the
dock.
•The
Ready light appears red when charging and green when fully
charged.
In the Falcon
33X and 34X, the dock’s power must be on for serial commu-
nication to occur.
Using the Falcon Dock
Set up the Falcon Dock as described in the preceding sections. Refer to
Chapter 9 for information on troubleshooting problems with the Falcon
Dock.
1. Place the Falcon into the dock, with the keypad facing the front.
2. If a power adapter is being used, the green LED labeled
Ready on
the front panel of the Falcon Dock lights up.
While the Falcon is in its dock:
• Programs can be downloaded into the Falcon or data returned from
it just as if it were connected directly to the computer.
• The Falcon can be left in the dock while using an attached bar code
reader.
• The Falcon Dock can be used to recharge either nickel-cadmium
(NiCD) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery packs.
The LED indicators on the Falcon Dock will not light up if the power adaptor
is not used. Serial communications will operate normally even though the
indicator LEDs will remain dark without the adapter.
