Help charging a Sony Clie UX50

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I just purchased a Sony PEG-UX50 on Ebay (my first PDA). The ebay
information stated it had an Extra Travel Charger. I have yet to
figure out the Travel Charger.

The ux50 arrived with a Pega-ac10 AC adapter that I can plug into the
Pega-jc40 charger cradle to recharge the ux50 (this works fine). My
ux50 documentation also shows a USB Cable (which came with the ux50)
that I believe I can use with a PC to charge the ux50 through the
charger cradle (Is my assumption correct?). It looks like I always
need the charger cradle with me.

I also received a second Pega-ac10 adapter with a small plug adapter
that I believe was supposed to plug directly into the ux50. This would
bypass the charger cradle. Pega-ac10 documentation (I downloaded from
the Sony site) shows connecting the plug adapter directly into a clie
(but not the ux50). The ux50 does not have an interface connector
matching the plug adapter. Is there a use for the plug adapter with a
ux50?

Below is information I copied from a site selling the Pega-ac10. The
two asterisks after the ux50 refer to a "USB Cradle only". What is a
USB Cradle?

Compatible with: PEG-UX50** / PEG-UX40** / PEG-NZ90** / PEG-NX80V /
PEG-NX73V / PEG-NX70V / PEG-NX60 / PEG-NR70V / PEG-NR70 / PEG-TH55 /
....

** To be connected to PEG-NZ90 with the USB Cradle only

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Take look at http://goldheart.klfree.net/~tom733/clie/ - in Czech only, but with pictures that explains a lot.
