The CH1005A Powered Vehicle Cradle

Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the CH1000. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol.

6.10The CH1005A Powered Vehicle Cradle

The CH1005A Powered Vehicle Cradle (12-24 VDC) is designed to securely grip the Ikôn when locked in and provides an easy single-handed release mechanism when the Ikôn needs to be quickly removed from the cradle. The cradle design permits access for the DC input cable to connect to the Ikôn (see Figure 6.15 on page 241). The cradle is also equipped with:

One USB A connector.

LED charge indicator.

A stylus holder and tether latch.

Built in speaker, identical to the one on Ikôn, that offers hands-free functionality. The powered cradle detects when the Ikôn is docked and can automatically transfer the speaker function from the Ikôn to the cradle.

Depending on the cradle variant, there can be up to two full RS-232 connectors.

-PN 1081148-500: no RS-232 connectors.

-PN 1081148-400: one RS-232 connector.

Before Psion Teklogix releases a product, our engineering team exposes that product through a series of severe testing to ensure that it will survive in the rugged environments in which our products are typically used. These tests usually include shock and vibration testing as well as IP testing for water and dust, electrical shock, etc.

If a third party vehicle mount is used, the third party should perform the same type of testing in order to ensure that the design will maintain the factory specifications of the product. If the third party company is unwilling to perform the necessary testing and take responsibility for the effects of the design, then we highly recommend using Psion Teklogix designed and supported accessories.

If you elect to use a third party company produced cradle, Psion Teklogix cannot take re- sponsibility for the effects of that third party product if it causes failure of our device.
