Section 2 MOUNTING THE DOCKING STATION AND CONNECTING THE BANKS POWERPDA Note: This system has been designed for use with the Palm Tungsten E2 PDA. 2. Find a smooth, flat surface suitable for ease of access and viewing of the PowerPDA. See Figure 15 for an example. Loosen both knobs and move the swivel suction plate and docking station to achieve desired viewing angle of the PowerPDA screen. Do a test fit and note the angle necessary to achieve the correct viewing angle.
Figure 15 Fuse Access Panel Figure 16 5. Find the Banks OBD II Interface Cable in your kit. Connect the Banks Interface Cable to the vehicle’s OBD II connector. Use a cable tie, as shown in Figure 17, to secure the Banks Interface Cable to the vehicle’s OBD II connector. 6.

For the cleanest PowerPDA installation (Figure 15), remove the fuse access panel by pulling it out from the side of the dash. Route the RJ12 connector (phone like connector) on the Banks OBD II Interface Cable under the dash and out where the fuse access panel was. The RJ12 connectors’s cable can be slid under the door frame’s seal and run up to the top of the dash.
