The GME Dual Desktop Charging Cradle BCD017 takes two GME TX675 or TX677 handhelds and keeps them parked in one spot on the bench. The cradle runs off a DC 5 V feed through the rear micro USB socket so you can plug it into an existing USB power adaptor in the shed or caravan. Two bays mean you can keep both handhelds topped up and ready for the next run up the track. The housing is solid moulded plastic with contact plates recessed into each bay to line up with the TX675 and TX677 charge points. The low-voltage DC setup below 12 V suits typical radio charging gear around the workshop or campsite. The flat base sits steady on most desk surfaces without extra brackets so you can drop the cradle near the radio shelf and get out there with charged comms every trip.

Q: Does this cradle include the DC power adaptor or USB cable?

No. This cradle is supplied as the charger only. The kit relies on an external DC 5 V power source to run. You can pair it with a suitable USB wall adaptor or vehicle USB outlet that matches the DC 5 V requirement. Using the correct power source helps protect both the cradle and your radios from incorrect voltage.

Q: Can this cradle charge one radio at a time or does it need two radios docked?

It can charge a single compatible radio. Each bay in the cradle has its own contact set and charge path. You can drop in one TX675 or one TX677 and leave the other bay empty without affecting operation. This helps when one handheld is in use while the spare stays on charge.

Q: Where is the power connector located on the cradle?

The power connector is on the rear of the cradle. A micro USB style socket sits in the centre of the rear panel marked DC 5 V. This keeps the cable run out of the way on a bench or shelf. Rear entry also reduces the chance of accidental unplugging when you move radios in and out of the bays.

Q: Is this cradle suitable for permanent mounting in a vehicle cabin?

It is mainly intended for desktop use. The flat base is ideal for placing on a desk shelf or counter. Some users may sit it on a stable surface in a vehicle but it does not include hard-mount brackets. If used in a moving vehicle make sure the cradle sits on a secure flat area so the radios remain seated.
