Simultaneous charging of two TC201 terminals

The CRD-TCVTB-2D allows two terminals to be charged at a single point. The configuration is suitable for small teams, individual workstations, or deployments where a backup device must be kept ready at all times.

Using the cradle helps to:

• simultaneous charging of two terminals;
• preparing devices for the next shift;
• organizing equipment in a fixed point;
• reducing the number of cables connected directly to the terminals;
• simplifying the handover and pickup of devices;
• maintaining a charged backup terminal.

Use with Rugged Boot mounted

The ShareCradle positions are sized for TC201 terminals equipped with Rugged Boot. Devices can be inserted directly into the station without removing the protection.

This configuration offers the following advantages:

• reduces the time required to connect the terminal to charging;
• avoids repeated disassembly and reassembly of the cover;
• reduces wear on the Rugged Boot;
• keeps terminals protected between uses;
• reduces the risk of losing protective covers;
• standardizes the configuration of devices used by operators.

The compatible Rugged Boot is Zebra SG-TCVT-BOOT-01 and must be ordered separately for each terminal.

Charge-Only function

The Zebra CRD-TCVTB-2D is intended for terminal charging only. The ShareCradle does not provide data transfer, USB sync, or Ethernet connectivity.

It is recommended when the main objective is:

• charging two terminals at a single point;
• preparing devices between shifts;
• avoiding connecting cables directly to each terminal;
• keeping equipment in an organized position;
• keeping Rugged Boots fitted;
• reducing the number of individual chargers.

For data transfer or Ethernet communication, a cradle must be selected that explicitly includes the respective functions.
