If you wish to custom mount the vehicle cradle to a surface other than the recommended
RAM-B, please take the following precautions:
•
When installing the cradle, ensure the driver’s view is not obstructed.
• Install cradles so as not to obstruct vehicle safety features, i.e. air bags, seat belts, etc.
• Ensure cradle is secured to the vehicle in a safe location. Injury may result otherwise.
• Ensure the mounting has capacity to hold the cradle and Ikôn. Cradle plus Ikôn weight
is approximately 1.3 kg.
• Psion Teklogix has recommended and approved mounts—consult Customer Service
for instructions.
To accommodate the service loop of the connecting cable, leave a 10 cm clearance at the
bottom of the vehicle cradle. Leave a 17 cm clearance at the top of the vehicle cradle to
allow easy removal of the Ikôn. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are pack-
aged with the pedestal when selecting a mounting location.
7.10.1.1 Mounting Template
For detailed mounting instructions including a drill template, refer to the CH1005A Ikôn
Rugged PDA Vehicle Cradle Quick Reference Guide (PN 8000165).
7.10.2 Cable Arrangement
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 loca-
tion, 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.
7.10.3 Electrical Requirements
The Powered Vehicle Cradle is designed to allow the Ikôn to be powered by a vehicle bat-
tery. The battery installed in the Ikôn is also recharged by the vehicle battery system.
