cradle without connecting or disconnecting a printer or modem
cable from the cradle.
As an option, an external RF antenna also can be connected to the
cradle using the TNC RF connector on the back. Contact your
supervisor or your organization’s help desk for information about
using an external antenna.
Vehicle Adapter
The Vehicle Adapter is an optional device that supplies power from
the vehicle battery to operate the computer and charge the battery
installed in the unit. It typically connects to the vehicle battery
using the cigarette lighter socket.
CAUTION
• Turn off the Vehicle Cradle at the end of each work day to
prevent draining the voltage in your vehicle’s battery
below starting levels.
CAUTION
• There are no user-replaceable parts within the Vehicle
Adapter, so do not open the Adapter case. The Vehicle
Adapter is internally protected. It resets automatically if
there is a power fault.
• Do not use the Vehicle Adapter to charge the computer
battery overnight. Turn off the Vehicle Adapter at the end
of each work day to prevent draining the voltage in your
vehicle’s battery below starting levels.
