Using the CD-ROM
The Vehicle Cradle has an optional CD-ROM feature. You can use the
CD-ROM to copy files to the mobile computer or access information
from a CD. Follow the procedure below if your cradle is equipped with a
CD-ROM.
To use the CD-ROM with the mobile computer
1 Place the computer on to the vehicle cradle, making sure it is
securely latched.
2 Connect the appropriate end of the CD-ROM cable to the parallel
port on the back of the computer and the other end to the CD-ROM
port on the back of the vehicle cradle.
The cable connectors are keyed to be inserted only one way.
3 Turn on the CD-ROM by pressing the power button.
4 Restart the mobile computer by pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL.
5 Insert a CD into the CD slot on the cradle.
6 You can access the CD-ROM by using an application or using your
operating systems file manager. Choose the CD icon or the
appropriate drive assigned to the CD-ROM, depending on the
hardware configuration for your computer.
Important The power button works differently on the standard
Vehicle Cradle and the CD-ROM Vehicle Cradle:
• On the standard cradle, pressing the power button turns on the
unit, and the power light means current is reaching the cradle.
• The CD-ROM model powers on as soon as external power is
connected. The power button on the CD-ROM model only turns
the CD-ROM on and off, and the power light means current is
reaching the CD-ROM.
Important If your CD-ROM does not operate after following these
instructions, additional drivers may need to be installed on your
system. Contact your organizations help desk for assistance.
