USB And Serial Connections

-It is preferable to wire after the key switch. In this configuration, when the key is turned ON, the vehicle will power the cradle and docked Ikôn, charging the internal battery when needed. When the vehicle ignition is OFF, the Ikôn docked in the cradle will run on its internal battery.

-However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the vehicle cradle before the switch. In this case, the Ikôn will always operate from vehicle power and that power will charge the battery when needed.

-Keep in mind that the Ikôn will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as the internal battery has sufficient charge.
