MX3Plus User’s Guide 

This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the mobile 
device and isolates the computer from shock and vibration. The MX3Plus is inserted into the 
cradle by placing the base of the unit in the pocket and then firmly pressing the unit backwards 
until the release mechanisms latch and hold the unit in the cradle. The MX3Plus is removed from 
the cradle by pressing the release mechanisms and pulling the MX3Plus up and away from the 
cradle.  

The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the left of the RS-232 port. 
The cradle is powered by either a vehicle's 12V battery or from an approved accessory for vehicles 
with higher voltage (24 to 60 VDC) batteries. When powered, the cradle transfers external power 
to the MX3Plus, which in turn, recharges the main battery. A powered cradle allows RS-232 and 
IR communication. 

The RS-232 connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the right of the power 
connector. When the MX3Plus is properly docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in 
the MX3Plus and cradle are aligned through their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from 
the MX3Plus are converted to RS-232 signals in the cradle and available at this connector. 

To ActiveSync, the cradle must be powered off, the ActiveSync cradle cable attached to the 
desktop PC and the cradle, then the cradle powered up.
