Preparing the Cradle for Use

Note: Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the cradle. Do not short circuit any of the charging terminals (pins), as this action could result in injury or property damage.

Honeywell recommends a stable, horizontal surface out of the way of:

•inclement weather conditions,

•extremely high concentrations of dust or wind blown debris,

•accidental knocks, bumps or other shocks to the cradle and items in the cradle bays.

•Leave enough space at cable connectors to ensure cables are protected from jostling, tugging or being disconnected by passing objects.

Note: The MX7 Tecton must have a main battery installed when it is docked in a cradle.

The main battery in the MX7 Tecton is recharged when the MX7 Tecton is docked in a powered desktop cradle and when it is docked in a powered vehicle cradle.
