quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the WORKABOUT PRO securely
even when operated in high vibration environments.

9.10.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations

Warning: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number
of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improp-
erly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following:
operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction
and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly
recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the
vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consider-
ation, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices
with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,
contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see AppendixA: Support Ser-
vices And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protection,
the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
