The Single Dock 7-5
MX2A137REFGD Revision A MX2 Reference Guide
Using a Single Dock
Set up the Single Dock as described in the preceding sections. Place the
MX2 into the dock, with the keypad facing the front. If you are using a
power adapter, the green LED labeled READY on the front panel of the
Single Dock should light up.
Note: If the
READY
light does not come on, make sure the
POWER
light
is on and the MX2 is fully inserted into the dock, with the
keypad facing out. If it still doesn’t work, make sure the power
adapter is securely attached to the MX2 and that the contacts
in the dock are clean. (If you are not using a power adapter,
the light will not come on.)
While the MX2 is in the Single Dock, you can download programs to it
or upload data from it just as if it were connected directly to your
computer.
If you are using a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack in the MX2,
you can use the Single Dock to recharge the batteries. Simply leave the
battery pack in the MX2 when you place it in the dock. The battery pack
and the lithium backup battery will be recharged while the READY light
is on. The charging time is 3 to 8 hours, depending on the type of battery
pack and the current charging level.
Charging Batteries
To charge the rechargeable batteries in a MX2, place the MX2 into a
dock that is connected to a power supply. The dock does not need to be
connected to a computer.
Transferring Files with
XFER
You can transfer files with the XFER utility on the MX2. XFER has the
ability to automatically request access to the communications line from
the Single Dock.
To use XFER to transfer a file to the MX2, place the MX2 in the Dock.
On the MX2, type in the command to receive a file, which is typically
the following:
C:\> xfer /r filename.txt
On the host, type the following at a DOS prompt:
C:\> xfer filename.txt
