6.11 The Powered Vehicle Cradle – Model No. RV1005
The RV1005 Powered Vehicle Cradle (12-24 VDC) is designed to securely grip the EP10 when locked in and
provides an easy single-handed release mechanism when the EP10 needs to be quickly removed from the
cradle. The cradle design permits access for the DC input cable to connect to the EP10. The cradle is also
equipped with an RS-232 port (no power on pin 9), a micro-USB AB port and a DC jack connector.
The cradle comes with four mounting screws, with illustrated electrical and mounting instructions.
Before Psion releases a product, our engineering team exposes that product to a series of severe testing to
ensure that it will survive in the rugged environments in which our products are typically used. These tests
usually include shock and vibration testing as well as IP testing for water and dust, electrical shock, etc.
If a third party vehicle mount is used, the third party should perform the same type of testing in order to
ensure that the design will maintain the factory specifications of the product. If the third party company is
unwilling to perform the necessary testing and take responsibility for the effects of the design, then we
highly recommend using Psion designed and supported accessories.
If you elect to use a third party company produced cradle, Psion cannot take responsibility for the effects of
that third party product if it causes failure of our device.
Important: Before using a vehicle cradle, read all instructions and markings on the housing.

accept a wet EP10 handheld without harmful effect.
