Overview
The MX7 Tecton desktop cradle restrains the MX7 Tecton, re-charges batteries, and enables serial, audio or USB
communication with a PC, scanner, printer or other peripheral device. MX7 Tecton keypad data entries can be mixed with
cradle-tethered scanner bar code data entries while the MX7 Tecton is in a powered cradle. Bluetooth device connection and
use, while the MX7 Tecton is docked, are managed by the MX7 Tecton Bluetooth program, not the cradle.
Using a wall AC adapter the desktop cradle can also recharge a spare MX7 Tecton battery in approximately 4 hours. The MX7
Tecton battery recharging is managed by the docked MX7 Tecton power management configuration. The MX7 Tecton can be
either On or in Suspend Mode while in the cradle. Special purpose and power cables are available from Honeywell.
Wireless host/client communications can occur whether the cradle is receiving external power or not as wireless functions
draw power from the main battery in the MX7 Tecton.
The MX7 Tecton cradle is not certified for use in Hazardous Locations.
