Cleaning or Replacing Cradle Contact Pins

The contact pins on the vehicle cradle are exposed to contamination and stress when the computer is

installed and removed from the cradle during normal daily operation. If the pins become dirty, they can

be removed and cleaned as necessary using electrical contact cleaner. Or they can be replaced. The

ower and ground pins are pins 3 and 8 respectively. When charging problems are encountered and

replacement pins are not available, other pins in the contact assembly can be used to field fix the unit

until replacement parts are available.

To clean or replace the cradle contact pins

1. Hold down the protective plastic cover.

2. Grasp a pin and pull straight up, being careful not to bend it.

3. Clean the pin with electrical contact cleaner and reinstall it into the cradle contact assembly.

If a pin is bent or cannot be cleaned, contact your support desk to obtain a replacement pin.

NOTE

Pin 8 is not user replaceable. Contact your support desk for information about replacing this RF

connector.

CAUTION

Do not place any metal objects on top of the cradle that might make contact with the metal

ins of the contact connector. Doing so may cause an electrical short and subsequent damage to the

cradle.
