Power out to laptop
dock
(LAPTOP DOCK)
Connection from junction box to the laptop dock. The
laptop dock secures the GoBook in place while you drive
a route, and provides power and communication
connections for the laptop. The dock is attached to either
a sled or pedestal mount in the vehicle (a sled is pictured
in this example).
To connect the vehicle power to the sled
Plug the vehicle power cable into the POWER IN receptacle on the junction box. Pull
the silver tab on the power cable back, insert the connector into the junction box, twist
the connector so the silver tab lines up with the labeling on the junction box, and
release the tab to lock it into place.
The other end of the power cable is hard-wired to the vehicle battery as described in
the Mobile Collection Vehicle Preparation Guide (TDC-0382-xxx).
