Powered Vehicle Cradle: WA1210-G2 7525M/C, 7527 C WA1310-G2 7525S, 7527S 1.0 Important Vehicle Cradle Instructions • • Before using a Vehicle Cradle, read all instructions and markings on the housing. Do not operate a Vehicle Cradle if struck by a sharp blow, dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; qualified service personnel should inspect for internal damage. Important: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important operating and maintenance instructions for the Vehicle Cradle series.
Important: The WA1210-G2, and WA1310-G2 Vehicle Cradles have a cable that terminates in a 15-pin connector. Please do not connect a VGA Monitor or a Computer to these 15-pin connectors. This will interfere with the WORKABOUT PRO operation. WARNING - The Vehicle Cradle cannot be used with other non- WORKABOUT PRO cradle accessories. Although they may share the same battery terminating connector, they are designed with different applications in mind. 2.
Important: The WORKABOUT PRO Vehicle Cradles are designed to be compatible with any RAM-B mounting interface. Note: In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws. The most effective way to mount the Vehicle Cradle RAM mount is to use the seven #8-32X 3/8 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than .
To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4” clearance at the bottom of the Vehicle Cradle. Leave a 7” clearance at the top of the Vehicle Cradle to allow easy removal of the WORKABOUT PRO. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the pedestal when selecting a mounting location. Note: A template for the Vehicle cradle rear mount system is provided on the next page. Remove that page only - to use this template.

2.1 Cable Arrangement Before installing the cables between the Vehicle Cradle and other devices, consider 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. Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
In the event that the Port Replicator cable is too short, Psion Teklogix recommends the use of a standard VGA extension cable or equivalent. Pins should be pass-through only. It is recommended that the total cable length be kept under 3m (10’) for best performance. 3.0 The Powered Vehicle Cradle The Powered Vehicle Cradle is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the WORKABOUT PRO is also recharged by the vehicle battery.
• The power Vehicle Cradle draws no more than 2.5A . Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 5A. The Powered Vehicle Cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles. • You have the option of connecting power to the Cradle before or after the ‘key’ switch. • It is preferable to wire after the key switch.
4.0 Using The Vehicle Cradle If your WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with a protective carrying case or other such case, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in the Vehicle Cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit. The correct installation places the computer in the cradle to the point where resistance is met and then presses the cradle down through the resistance into the locking position.
Step 1 Place the computer in the cradle to the point where resistance is met. The stop ensures electrical contact will not be made until the terminal is fully inserted. Step 2 Press the computer down through the resistance until it bottoms on the cradle. The locks will engage. This can be one smooth motion if you wish. Figure 4.
4.1 Cleaning and Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle • • • • • • 12 Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the Vehicle Cradle. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The Vehicle Cradle has a plastic case and stamped logo that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic and stamping is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.
