4.2.2 F985 vehicle cradle

The F985 vehicle cradle has the same functions as the F985 standard cradle in terms of
the terminal batteries' charge and the serial communication interface; instead, for this
cradle version the back-up batteries-charging function is not available.
The F985 vehicle cradle comes with its accessories already assembled. To install it
inside a vehicle driving compartment, proceed as follows:
1 - Simply mount the metal bracket;
2 - It must be have a stabilised power supply, connected to the vehicle's battery.
The power supply must have the following output characteristics::
Voltage
Power
Coaxial Socket
ATTENTION
Do not connect the cradle directly to the vehicle's battery. Possible voltage surges
can damage the cradle or cause it to malfunction.
3 - Insert the F8500 terminal only after mounting the cradle in the vehicle.
ATTENTION
We recommend that you detach any connections to the PCMCIA (e.g. aerial,
printer) when putting the F8500 terminal into the cradle or taking it out.
