Other Interface Connections
Cordless Models
The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all configurations. For
all interfaces (except RS-232) a power supply is recommended but not necessary, because the
base can be powered from the Host. When the base is powered from the Host, it automatically
selects a slow charge rate.

Base Station
Figure: Connecting the Base Station on page 24
shows how to connect the Base Station to a ter-
minal, PC or other host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for
that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying
power to the Base Station.

The BVS HS QB xxx can also be Powered by the Terminal. When powered by
the Terminal, the battery charger is automatically set as Slow charge.
For some specific interfaces or hosts or lengths of cable, the use of an exter-
nal power supply may be recommended for full recharging capability (see
"Appendix A: Technical Specifications" on page 254
for more details).
