6.9.2.4 Removing The Ikôn From The Vehicle Cradle
When removing the Ikôn, apply slight pressure to the rear and pull upwards. The rear-first
motion will assist in disengaging the rear restraining mechanism.
6.9.3 CH1000 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for sepa-
rately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain
suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance. Note also that for better protection,
the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle RAM mount is to use the seven #M4
threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 5mm into the
vehicle cradle. You may also remove the rear Ram-B mount accessory to custom mount the
vehicle cradle to a surface other than the recommended RAM-B (Figure 6.11 on page 235)
6.9.3.1 Mounting Template
For detailed mounting instructions including a drill template, refer to the CH1000 Ikôn
Rugged PDA Vehicle Cradle Quick Reference Guide (PN 8100149).
In every case, please take the following precautions:
•
When installing the cradle, ensure the driver's view is not obstructed.
• Install cradles so as not to obstruct vehicle safety features, i.e. air bags, seat belts, etc.
• Ensure cradle is secured to the vehicle in a safe location. Injury may result otherwise.
Important: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of opera-
tor safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted
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 Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional
mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
Important: The Ikôn Vehicle Cradles are designed to be compatible with any RAM

mounting interface. For other mounting options please contact our Techni-
cal Support offices.
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.
