Cradle (CRD–8))
System Description
The cradle can be used for left and right hand cars and will fit physically
into the cars of MB, Audi and Ford. It will be used together with the Minna
Handset and with the Dude Handset, both handsets having the same
mechanical interface. The Minna HS has an emergency button; the Dude
HS has no emergency button.
Otherwise the HS’s are equal from the mechanical point of view. The
cradle offers the following functionality:
–Locking/release mechanism
–Switch between Hands–free and private mode supported through a
magnet
There is no PCB inside the Cradle and no illumination of the push buttons.
Cradle Concept
The mechanical concept of the cradle is based on the DCT3 cradles and
uses a similar locking/release mechanism. The DCT3 cradle uses one
spring for the whole locking/release mechanism making assembly easier.
The cradle is designed so that the user has easy access to the
locking/release mechanism when used either on dashboard or armrest
mounting.
