7.8 Snap Modules – Model Nos. RV4001 & RV4002
Snap Modules are mobile power adaptors that snap on the base of the EP10. Two types of Snap Module var-
iants are available:
• USB and Charge Snap Module – Model No. RV4001. This accessory powers and charges the EP10, and it
provides a USB connection.
• DE9 RS232 and Charge Snap Module – Model No. RV4002. This accessory powers and charges the
EP10 and provides a RS-232 connection.
The Snap Modules are compatible with AC power adaptor Model PS1050-G1. A country-specific cable to be
plugged into the wall/mains must be ordered separately.
To attach an adaptor to the EP10:
• Make sure that the adaptor connector and EP10 docking connector are free of dust or any other debris
before connecting them.
• A slot in the side rail on each side of the hand-held accommodates the locking clips of the adaptor. To
attach the adaptor, align it with the base of the hand-held and gently slide up until the locking clips
snap into place.
• To remove the adaptor, press down on the base of the clip arms to release them from the EP10 side
rails and slide the adaptor off.
