Adaptor Cradle
Typical adaptor cradle shown
The telephone adaptor cradle is located in the center arm rest and is directly connected to the base plate adaptor. The adaptor cradle is detachable from the base plate adaptor to allow for different phones to be used in the system. A new adaptor cradle is the only requirement for the system to be changed from one type of phone to another. Adaptor cradles are available for the top 20 business phones in each market, this is subject to change as new phones come on to the market and replace older models. Adaptor cradles will be available through the accessories department.
Depending on the variant of the adaptor cradle, the cradle will have one of two ways of communicating with the phone. If the adaptor cradle is for a Nokia F Bus type phone the cradle will route the connections from the transceiver module straight through to the phone.
If the adaptor cradle is for a non Nokia F bus or a non Nokia type phone (i.e. Motorola), the cradle will have an internal circuit to convert signals from the phone to be compatible with the transceiver module signals.
