Zebra TC201 Charging Cradle without Rugged Boot CRD-TCVT-1D

Zebra CRD-TCVT-1D – charging cradle for TC201 without Rugged Boot

The Zebra CRD-TCVT-1D is a Charge-Only ShareCradle designed to charge a Zebra TC201 mobile terminal used without a Rugged Boot . The cradle provides a single, organized charging point for devices used in retail, warehouse, logistics, courier, transportation, and field operations.

The terminal is placed directly in the cradle, without repeatedly connecting a cable to the device port. This method simplifies charging between shifts, reduces connector handling, and allows the terminal to be kept in a fixed and easily accessible position.

• an individual position for the terminal;

Compatibility and configuration

Individual charging for Zebra TC201

The CRD-TCVT-1D is recommended for users who need a single charging point for the TC201 terminal. The device can be placed in the cradle at the end of the program or between shifts, without manually connecting a cable to the terminal.

The cradle helps to:

• charging the terminal after completing the activity;
• preparing the device for the next shift;
• keeping the terminal in a stable position;
• organization of the operator’s workspace;
• reducing wear caused by repeated cable connection;
• quick identification of the terminal storage location.

Use without Rugged Boot

The cradle cup is designed for the dimensions of the TC201 terminal in its standard configuration. The Rugged Boot or any other case that changes the dimensions of the device must be removed before charging.

For correct use:

1. remove Rugged Boot from the terminal;
2. check that the terminal and charging contacts are clean;
3. insert the device into the dedicated position;
4. check alignment and correct fixation;
5. confirm the appearance of the charging indicator.

Charge-Only function

The Zebra CRD-TCVT-1D is intended for terminal charging only. The cradle does not provide USB sync, data transfer, Ethernet connectivity, or integration with peripherals.

It is suitable when the main objective is:

• loading the terminal between shifts;
• creating a fixed point for the device;
• reducing the use of directly connected cables;
• keeping equipment in an organized position;
• preparing the terminal for the next use.

For data transfer or Ethernet connectivity, a cradle that explicitly includes those functions must be selected.

Accessories required for operation

For use in Romania, the 45 W power adapter in the version compatible with European sockets must be selected.

The difference between CRD-TCVT-1D and CRD-TCVTB-1D

Choose CRD-TCVT-1D for the TC201 terminal used without a protective case. For a device that keeps the Rugged Boot mounted, CRD-TCVTB-1D should be selected.

Difference from the cradle with battery slot

The CRD-TCVT-1D only charges the TC201 terminal and does not include a separate battery slot. To charge the terminal and a backup battery simultaneously, a ShareCradle configuration that explicitly includes a “1D1B” position must be selected.

• loading between employee shifts;
• organizing the terminal at the workstation.

Warehouse and logistics applications

• loading the terminal after the route;
• preparing the device for the next race;
• organizing equipment in a hub or warehouse;
• reducing the time required to hand over the terminal;
• loading at the courier’s individual station.

Field service applications

• loading the terminal at the headquarters;
• preparing the device for subsequent interventions;
• maintaining the terminal at a fixed point;
