Symbol Technologies CRD1800-1000S Serial Charging Cradle

Symbol CRD1800-1000S is a 1-slot serial charging cradle designed for the SPT1800 handheld terminal, providing charging and data synchronization via a serial connection to a host PC. It features a spare battery charging slot on the back and charges the terminal’s battery; the cradle’s battery charging LED turns red to indicate charging and turns green after about two hours when the battery is full. The unit connects to a host computer through a rear serial port and to a wall outlet via a power supply; the setup supports HotSync technology and can synchronize the SPT1800 data with Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop software. In use, the CRD1800-1000S is a single-slot cradle; it is part of Symbol’s SPT 1800 cradle family and is compatible with Symbol SPT1800 devices. Some listings indicate that a power supply and AC line cord are required but not included, while the product title for this listing claims the kit includes a power supply and cord. The back of the cradle houses a serial port for host communication and a power receptacle for the included power supply and line cord. Official documentation notes the CRD1800-1000S as a single-slot cradle capable of charging the terminal battery and a spare battery, with the charge LEDs and roughly two-hour cycle.
