Mounting Template

Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.

The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.

To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.

The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.

9.10.2 Wiring Guidelines

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 location, 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.

9.10.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle

If your WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.

•Slide the WORKABOUT PRO into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the WORKABOUT PRO to be certain that it is secure.
