Abstract
A cradle for an electronic device includes a mounting portion to detachably/attachably accommodate at least a part of the electronic device, a connector disposed in the mounting portion, and a detection member disposed in the mounting portion to detect whether the electronic device is mounted on the mounting portion. Only when the electronic device is attached to the cradle, the cradle may charge a battery or establish an electrical connection automatically with an external device to transmit/receive data. Therefore, a Product Liability (PL) accident can be prevented, and reliability of the cradle can be improved.
