Using a DC Power Supply
The cradle can operate from host supplied power, if available. If host power is limited or not available, an external
DC power supply can be used with certain host interface cables that support a power jack. An external power
supply is recommended if fastest charging is required.
Mounting the Cradle
For detailed information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.
