Connecting Power to the Dock
Once all the components are installed, apply
power to the IsatDock DRIVE via the 4-way
Microfit® connector using the DC power cable.
RED
BLACK
The DC power cable has three wires, RED, BLACK
and YELLOW. The RED and BLACK wires are used
for the power connection while the YELLOW
wire can be connected to a vehicle's accessories,
ignition or other similar circuits to control
the ON/OFF status of the IsatDock DRIVE in
synchronization with a vehicles operation.
By default, the IsatDock DRIVE will stay on for
20 minutes after this input is switched off. If a
call is in progress while this occurs, the IsatDock
DRIVE will stay on for 20 minutes after the call is
terminated. Please follow the steps below

the DC power cable to the 4-way power
connector on the rear cable loom of the
YELLOW
IsatDock DRIVE.
2. Route the wire end of the DC power cable to
the connection point. DO NOT apply power
until the following steps are completed.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to the negative
terminal of the battery (10A fuse
recommended) or the vehicle chassis (if
negatively grounded chassis).
4. Connect the RED wire to the positive
terminal of the battery. It is recommended to
add the 5A fuse between them. (supplied)
(+) Vin 10 to 32VDC
(-) OV Power Ground
To Battery Positive Terminal
(5A Fuse recommended)
To Negative Terminal or chassis
To ACC switched power
(1A Fuse recommended)
5. Connect the YELLOW wire to the vehicle
accessory power. If the accessory power
is unavailable, this may be connected
to a vehicle ignition voltage. It is
recommended to add a 1A fuse between
them. The accessory wire enables the
IsatDock DRIVE to turn on and off as the
vehicle key is enabled or disabled. If this
function is not required, the YELLOW wire
MUST be connected to the RED wire.
Wiring for a Marine Application
When installed in a marine application using the
DC power cable, the YELLOW wire can be wired
to a suitable panel switch which will allow the
IsatDock DRIVE to be turned off when not in use.

110-240 AC plug pack connect the 4-way
Microfit connector from the plug pack to the
4-way power connector on the rear cable loom
of the IsatDock DRIVE. In this configuration the
ignition/accessory status is always ON.
