7.11.2 W iring Guidelines
Before installing the cables between the 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.
• 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.
7.11.3 Using The Picker Cradle
If your 7535 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be
removed before installing the unit in a picker cradle. There is no need to remove
handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the 7530 into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into
place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the 7535 to be certain that
it is secure.
• To remove the 7530, press firmly on one of the knobs on either side of the
cradle until it releases. You do not need to press both knobs.
7.11.4 Maintaining The Picker Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the 7530 firmly in place. Although these latches are
designed for at least 80,000 cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock
the 7530 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion
Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Partial
disassembly is required.
