Wiring Guidelines
To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the
bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to
allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance
at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the
detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a
mounting location.
7.11.1.1 Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
7.11.2 Wiring Guidelines
Before installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their
desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other
potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may
damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
7.11.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these
accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is
no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO into the cradle, and press firmly downward
until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the
WORKABOUT PRO to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove the unit, press firmly on the RELEASE button on the front face
of the unit until it releases from it latch. The hand-held will be slightly
raised so that it can be removed.
