The cradle is compatible with various Zebra tablets and specifically mentioned models like the Zebra EC5X series.

- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the cradle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cords and connectors for any signs of damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact support.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Zebra 4-Slot Charge-Only Cradle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cradle is not powering on. | Power cords are not properly connected or power outlet is not active. | Ensure the AC and DC line cords are securely connected to the power supply and cradle. Verify the AC line cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet. |
| Device is not charging when placed in a slot. | Device not properly seated, device is incompatible, or charging contacts are obstructed. | Remove and re-insert the device, ensuring it is fully seated in the slot. Check if the device is compatible with the cradle (e.g., Zebra EC5X or compatible tablets). Inspect charging contacts on both the device and cradle for debris. |
| Slow charging. | Using a non-standard power supply or multiple devices drawing power. | Ensure you are using the original Zebra power supply. Charging multiple devices simultaneously may result in slightly longer charge times. |
