Figure 7.10 Removing The RAM Mount
To accommodate the service loop of the power cable, leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) clearance at the
bottom of the vehicle cradle. Leave a 17.8 cm (7 in.) clearance at the top of the vehicle
cradle to allow easy removal of the Ikôn. When selecting a mounting location, refer to the
detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the pedestal.
If you choose to use a third party company-produced cradle, Psion Teklogix cannot take re-
sponsibility for the effects of that third party product when it causes failure to our device.
Important: Before Psion Teklogix releases a product, our engineering team exposes
that product to vibration tests to ensure the Ikôn will remain secure during
normal use. But as a low cost mount, the cradle will not defend against
shock if the vehicle undergoes a front or rear impact. Take care to mount
the cradle in an upright position in case of accidents.
