Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A docking system comprises a handheld device and a dock that are configured for preventing or minimizing damage to a device connector and/or a dock connector during docking. The dock has a cap that can be retracted, wherein the dock connector is recessed until the cap is retracted. The device housing has a device recess complementary to the cap, a device connector opening for access to the device connector and pin recesses for receiving a set of pins. The device recess and cap facilitate alignment of the set of pins relative to the pin recesses, wherein retracting the cap causes the set of pins to extend through pin openings into the pin recesses. The set of pins resist movement and rotation of the base housing relative to the cap and further assist in aligning the device connector with the dock connector.
