Cleaning or Replacing Cradle Contact Pins
The contact pins on the vehicle cradle are exposed to contamination
and stress when the computer is installed and removed from the cradle
during normal daily operation. The pins were designed to be cleaned or
replaced as required.
If the pins become dirty, they can be removed and cleaned with an
electrical contact cleaner or replaced. The power and ground pins are
pins 3 and 8 respectively. When charging problems are encountered
and replacement pins are not available, other pins in the contact
assembly can be used to field fix the unit until replacement parts are
available.
To clean or replace the cradle contact pins
1 Hold down the protective plastic cover.
2Grasp a pin and pull straight up and out, being careful not to bend it.
3 Clean the pin with electrical contact cleaner and reinstall it into the
cradle contact assembly, pressing it straight down and in.
4 If a pin is bent or cannot be cleaned, contact your organization’s help
desk to obtain the correct pin replacements.
