6.8.1.1 Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
6.8.2 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.
• 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.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other
potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may
damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
6.8.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your WORKABOUT PRO G2 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these
accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is
no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO G2 into the cradle, and press firmly down-
ward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the
WORKABOUT PRO G2 to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove the unit, press firmly on the RELEASE button on the front face
of the unit until it releases from it latch. The hand-held will be slightly
raised so that it can be removed.
6.8.4 Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the WORKABOUT PRO G2 firmly in place.
Although these latches are designed for robustness and endurance, they will wear
over time and will no longer lock the hand-held securely in the cradle. For
replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is
required.
