Introduction to Installation
The RW 420 Vehicle Cradle allows you to mount a RW 420 printer
into virtually any vehicle with an electrical system voltage range of
9 to 30 VDC. The installation kit provided with the Cradle includes
an input power cable which, when connected to the vehicle’s elec-
trical system, provides power to run the Printer and charge its bat-
tery.
The input power cable is wired to the vehicle’s battery power sys-
tem indirectly through a power take-off point. One version of the
Vehicle Cradle supplies an input power cable that can be plugged
into an automotive vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should this equipment be attached di-
rectly to the vehicle’s battery without a proper fuse.
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique require-
ments, mounting hardware selection and mechanical installation
shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra recommends us-
ing self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock washers for installing
the mount. The Cradle is secured with #8-32 mounting hardware
(4 places).
Note: Hardware used to secure the Vehicle Cradle to the vehicle is not
supplied in the installation kit.
