About the Sled
The Mobile Collector sled is used to securely fasten the GoBook in the vehicle. It is placed
on the passenger seat and secured with a seat belt and pretensioner.
Watch the Mobile Collector Safety Video and read the Mobile Collector Sled
and Pretensioner Installation Guide (
TDC-0708-xxx) to learn how to correctly
install the sled in your vehicle. These materials are located in a plastic sleeve
on the underside of the sled.
The sled has the GoBook dock attached to it, which serves as a locking base and also
provides power and communications to the laptop.
A power junction box ships in the Mobile Collector kit and needs to be attached to the sled.
When attached, the junction box on the sled should be facing passenger side door of the
vehicle (the junction box is attached in the example below).
Install the sled on the passenger seat before mounting the MC3 radio. The sled must be
installed with the seat belt pretensioner; see
About the Seat Belt Pretensioner on page 4 for
more information.
The sled components are shown below.
