VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle
This section describes how to use a VCD7000 vehicle cradle with the EDA. For cradle installation and
communication setup procedures refer to the MC70 Integrator Guide.
Once installed in a vehicle, the cradle:
• holds the EDA securely in place
• provides power for operating the EDA
• provides a serial port for data communication between an EDA and an external device (e.g., a printer)
• re-charges the battery in the EDA
• re-charges a standard capacity or extended capacity spare battery.
Charging the EDA Battery
Insert the EDA into the vehicle cradle to begin charging. A click indicates that the EDA button release locking
mechanism is enabled and the EDA is locked in place.
