Figure 6.15 RV1005 Ports
Peripherals such as scanners, printers, GPS, etc., may be used with the EP10 and the cradle.
Check with Psion Teklogix if there is any compatibility issue with the device you want to
use with the EP10 and the cradle.
6.12.5 Using the Vehicle Cradle
If your EP10 is equipped with a shoulder strap or protective cover, these accessories need to
be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove hand
straps or tethered devices from the unit.
Slide the EP10 into the cradle, and press firmly downward to the point where resistance
is met. Press the EP10 down through the resistance until it bottoms in the cradle – the
locks on the latches will engage. This can be one smooth motion if you wish. Electrical
contact will not be made until the EP10 is fully inserted. On a vehicle, its a good idea to
pull up on the EP10 to be certain that it is secure.
To remove the unit, push the latches upwards – the EP10 will be released so that it can
be removed.
6.12.6 Maintaining the Vehicle Cradle
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 chem-
icals. The plastic and stamping is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.
They slowly decompose in strong alkaline solutions.
