Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible. The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence.

Refer to “The Port Replicator” on page 325 for details. 9.10.
Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Wiring Guidelines 9.10.2 Wiring Guidelines Before installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following: • Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring. • Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage. • Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death. Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require special consideration.
Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories The Port Replicator 9.10.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle A 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Bluetooth Peripherals The functionality of the WORKABOUT PRO tether port is replicated into RS-232 serial interfaces by the port replicator. It provides the user with 3 DB9 serial interfaces as well as one Type B USB port (for connecting a Host device). 9.
