User's Manual Part 1

Installing the MC3 System
The Itronix documentation refers to the laptop receptacle as a cradle; Itron uses
the term
dock to identify this piece of equipment. The term dock is used repeatedly
throughout this manual; however,
dock and cradle are interchangeable.
To attach the GoBook III to the vehicle dock
1. Ensure that the vehicle dock is in the unlocked position. When locked, a steel pin (1)
is visible on the top of the vehicle dock; this pin helps secure the GoBook III in place.
When unlocked, this pin is not visible. The front (2) and rear (3) mounting guides are
also extended out to the perimeter of the dock when unlocked.
• To unlock the dock, push in underneath the locking mechanism (1) and then
pull the handle out (2) as shown.
2. Lower the GoBook III onto the vehicle dock, making sure that the two rear locking
mechanisms on the top of the vehicle dock fit into the mating holes on the GoBook
underside.
