Compatibility and configuration

Charging the Zebra TC201 terminal

The main cradle position allows charging of a Zebra TC201 terminal in the standard configuration. The device can be placed in the station at the end of the activity or between shifts, without direct and repeated connection of a cable to the terminal.

Using an individual cradle helps to:

• preparing the terminal for the next shift;
• organizing the device at a fixed point;
• simplifying terminal handover and pickup;
• reducing the number of cables on the operator station;
• quick verification of device positioning when charging;
• keeping the terminal easily accessible.

Use without Rugged Boot

The terminal cup is sized for the Zebra TC201 without a Rugged Boot or other additional case that changes the dimensions of the device.

For correct use:

1. remove the Rugged Boot or additional case;
2. check that the terminal and charging contacts are clean;
3. insert the device into the dedicated position;
4. check for correct alignment;
5. confirms the start of the charging process.

Slot for a spare battery

The CRD-TCVT-1D1B includes a separate slot for charging a Zebra TC201 compatible backup battery. The battery can be charged at the same time as the terminal.

This configuration is useful for:

• long work shifts;
• operations carried out in multiple shifts;
• intensive scans throughout the day;
• activities that frequently use wireless communications;
• quick replacement of a discharged battery;
• keeping a backup battery ready at all times.

The exact battery code must be checked before ordering to confirm compatibility with the TC201 terminal and cradle slot.

Simultaneous charging of device and battery

By combining the two positions, the CRD-TCVT-1D1B allows the terminal and the backup battery to be prepared simultaneously. The operator can start the next shift with the device charged and an additional battery available.

This configuration contributes to:

• reducing interruptions caused by battery discharge;
• maintaining operational continuity;
• avoiding the purchase of a separate charger for a single battery;
• organizing the terminal and battery at the same point;
• faster preparation of the equipment for the next user.

Charge-Only function

The Zebra CRD-TCVT-1D1B is intended for terminal and battery charging only. The model does not offer data transfer, USB sync, or Ethernet connectivity.

It is recommended when the main objective is:

• charging a terminal and a spare battery;
• preparing equipment between shifts;
• creating an individual charging point;
• reducing the number of separate adapters;
• keeping the device and battery in an organized area.

For Ethernet or USB communication, a cradle variant must be selected that explicitly mentions the respective functions.

Accessories required for operation

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