Attach the GoBook III to the Vehicle Dock
As part of an optional remote installation, you may attach the GoBook III to a vehicle cradle
on a pedestal near the driver. The vehicle cradle should be pre-installed. Refer to the Itronix
Vehicle Cradle Installation Guide for detailed instructions.
To attach the GoBook III to the vehicle dock
1. Lower the GoBook III onto the vehicle dock. Be sure to align it within the front and
read guides on the dock. The front of the laptop should face the locking mechanism on
the front of the dock.
2. Push in the handle on the front of the dock to engage the locking mechanism and
secure the GoBook to the dock.
3. Push in the keyed part of the locking mechanism to further lock it and prevent theft of
the GoBook.
4. Plug one end of the USB cable into one of the two available ports on the back of the
vehicle dock. The port uses a standard USB connector.
5. Plug the vehicle dock USB cable into the USB port on the Mobile Collector by pulling
the SMA connector sleeve back, plugging the connector in to the Mobile Collector,
and releasing the sleeve. This port uses an SMA connector.
Connect the GoBook III Power Supply and USB Cable
The GoBook III receives power from the Mobile Collector radio itself, through a simple
power cable connection. In versions of the Mobile Collection system that use a GoBook
MAX, the power and data connections are integrated into the top of the Mobile Collector
radio.
For the GoBook III, additional cables must be attached to provide the laptop with power and
a data connection. The USB cable is used to provide data collected by the Mobile Collector
radio to the Mobile Interface application running on the GoBook III.
