Juniper Systems Mesa Mobile Dock - Manual (Page 8)

Mesa Mobile Dock User’s Manual
Vehicle power considerations:
When powering the dock from a vehicle, especially in a
permanent situation, be familiar with the power setup.
Power configuration options and recommendations:
The Mesa suspends when battery power is being used
(default setting), insuring that the both the Mesa batteries
and the vehicle battery are not fully depleted. In this
configuration, the Mesa is powered and charging its
batteries whenever vehicle power is applied. When
the vehicle is turned off, the Mesa does not receive
external power and suspends after the time set in the
power management settings (default is 3 minutes). In a
suspended state, the power to the mobile dock is shut
off and the Mesa draws very little power (about 25mW).
The mobile dock is connected to a power port that draws
current directly from the battery power of the vehicle. The
Mesa and dock remain powered and the batteries are
charged even if the vehicle is turned off. Be aware
that this configuration drains the vehicle battery.
Consult the vehicle’s user manual for instructions on
appropriate use of the power port.
The mobile dock is connected to a key switched battery port
of the vehicle. The vehicle power is not depleted by the
Mesa when the vehicle is turned off.
