Connecting The Orbitgps Serial Gps Receiver External Power Version (Orbitgps Part Number G1010) To Vehicle Cradles - OrbitGPS Serial GPS Receiver User Manual

DRAFT 3 – JANUARY 10, 2005 NOT FOR RELEASE
Connecting the OrbitGPS Serial GPS Receiver External Power Version
(OrbitGPS Part Number G1010) to Vehicle Cradles
The OrbitGPS Serial GPS Receiver with cigarette lighter power adaptor (OrbitGPS Part
G1010) can be used with MC90XX S (Short) and K (Brick) and MC70 vehicle cradles. Set
up instructions are the same for all of these. In this installation, the GPS receiver draws
power from a 12V DC "cigarette lighter" adaptor. As long as the adaptor is powered, the
GPS receiver will operate. As such, the DC power jack needs to draw uninterrupted power
from the vehicle for constant operation of the GPS receiver. Install the vehicle cradle
before connecting the OrbitGPS Serial GPS Receiver.
When attached to the vehicle dock, the Serial GPS receiver allows the mobile computer,
when docked in the cradle, to capture GPS data.
Step 1
To connect the Serial GPS to the vehicle cradle, plug the DB9 Serial connector into the
serial port found on the bottom of the cradle to the left of the power cable. Tighten the DB9
serial connector with the thumbscrews to ensure a secure connection.
