Peripherals such as scanners, printers, GPS, etc., may be used with the Ikôn and the cradle.
Check with Psion Teklogix if there is any compatibility issue with the device you want to
use with the Ikôn and the cradle.
6.10.5 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your Ikôn is equipped with a shoulder strap or protective cover, these accessories need to
be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove hand-
straps or tethered devices from the unit.
•
Slide the Ikôn into the cradle, and press firmly downward to the point where resistance
is met. Press the Ikôn down through the resistance until it bottoms in the cradle—the
locks on the latches will engage. This can be one smooth motion if you wish. Electrical
contact will not be made until the Ikôn is fully inserted. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to
pull up on the Ikôn to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove the unit, push the latches upwards—the Ikôn will be released so that it can
be removed.
6.10.6 Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
• Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the
unit clean.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the
vehicle cradle.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals for cleaning.
• The vehicle cradle has a plastic case and stamped logo that is susceptible to harsh chem-
icals. The plastic and stamping is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.
They slowly decompose in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol.
• The two-lock assembly in the Powered Vehicle Cradle holds the Ikôn firmly in place.
Although this mechanism is designed for at least 20,000 cycles, it will wear over time
and will no longer lock the Ikôn securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and
instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required.
6.11 Scanners And Imagers
The Ikôn supports several scanner/imager options to address a variety of user application re-
quirements. The scanner/imager installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner
Settings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 161), the Manage Triggers application
(see page 106), and Teklogix.
