The vehicle cradle is available in two versionsunpowered (WA1000) and powered (WA1010). A port replicator option is available for both types of vehicle cradle.

The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides 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 Appendix A: Support Ser-

 

vices And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protection,

 

the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
