Vehicle Mount Cradle 9
E-EQ-MX6DKRG-D-ARC MX6 Cradle Reference Guide
Vehicle Mount Cradle
This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the MX6.
The vehicle mount docking cradle gives the MX6 the ability to communicate with a host computer
and other equipment. In addition, using an external power source, the docking cradle transfers
power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX6 and, in turn, the MX6 recharges the Main
Battery.
The MX6 can be either On or in Suspend mode while in the docking cradle.
Quick Start
1. Attach the MX6 vehicle cradle to the vehicle mounted bracket assembly.
2. Insert the cigarette lighter end of the power adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter outlet.
3. If required, connect an RS-232 cable to the serial port on the back of the Cradle.
4. Attach the MX6 power connector to the Power jack on the bottom of the Cradle.
5. The Vehicle Mount cradle is ready for use.
When the vehicle cradle is receiving external power, and the MX6 is properly seated in the
charging bay, the DOCK LED is green.
The vehicle cradle should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the vehicle operator's vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.
• Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.
• Can be easily accessed by a user seated in the driver's seat.
