RV1005 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations

Important: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator
safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted vehicle cradle
may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility
obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator.
Psion strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the
vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially
for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are
unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion for assistance.
In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints
should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing
angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
The EP10 Powered Vehicle Cradle is designed to be compatible with any RAM-B mounting interface – Model
number RAM-B-166-202U. Use the four #M4X12 screws provided with the RAM mount to secure the cradle
to the RAM mount. Bolts must not extend more than 7 mm into the vehicle cradle.
If you wish to custom mount the vehicle cradle to a surface other than the recommended RAM, please care-
fully follow the precautions listed under "Mounting Template" on page 211.

Mounting Template

The vehicle cradle is shipped with mounting instructions including a drilling template. Refer to the EP10
Hand-Held Vehicle Cradle Quick Start Guide (PN 8000234).
In every case, please take the following precautions:
1. When installing the cradle, ensure the driver's view is not obstructed.
2. Install cradles so as not to obstruct vehicle safety features, i.e. air bags, seat belts, etc.
3. Ensure cradle is secured to the vehicle in a safe location. Injury may result otherwise.
4. Ensure the mounting has the capacity to hold the cradle and the EP10. Cradle plus EP10 weight is
approximately 1 kg (2.2 lb.).
5. Psion has recommended and approved a mount. Consult Psion Customer Service for direction.
