  All CRD-97xx cradles require a separate adapter to provide enough power to allow for charging an OPL-97xx terminal device in all situations (idle, transmitting, etc). Even in the USB configuration this power adapter is required.    All CRD-97xx cradles require a separate adapter to provide enough power to allow for charging an OPL-97xx terminal device in all situations (idle, transmitting, etc).

    + ==Setting up your CRD9723==  
    + This section is a step-by-step setup process for our most common of cradles the CRD-9723-RU.  
    + ===Determine Your Connection Method===  
    + Since the CRD9723 can be connected to a PC via USB or RS232 (but not both at once) you need to decide which one you are going to use.  
    + * RS232  
    + ** Requires external power (via the provided AC adapter)  
    + ** Requires a dedicated RS232 port on your PC. These are increasingly uncommon on many PCs especially laptops so checking if such a connector is present is the first step.  
    + ** Does NOT require any drivers  
    + ** The COM port number assigned by Windows is hard wired to the physical port and so will never change  
    + ** Fastest transmission speeds  
    + * USB  
    + ** Required external power (via the provided AC adapter). The USB port on a PC doesn't quite provide enough power to effectively charge the scanner as well as power the cradle.  
    + ** Requires only a free USB port  
    + ** Does require USB-VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers. See the Downloads section above.  
    + ** Slower transmission speeds. Though it is not usual for USB to be slower than RS232 the USB-VCP configuration of this cradle provides that this method is slightly slower than RS232. In every day usage the difference is negligible.  
    + ===Install Drivers===  
    + If you opted for the USB connection method you will need to download and install the USB Drivers found in the Downloads section above.  
    + ===Connect Your Cradle===  
    + This last step is simply to physically connect the cradle to the PC. As noted above the AC power adapter is always required. Only connect either the RS232 cable or the USB cable but not both.
