• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired
location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other
potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the
cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
7.11.3 Using The Picker Cradle
If your 7535/7530 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need
to be removed before installing the unit in a picker cradle. There is no need to
remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
• Slide the 7535/7530 into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into
place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the 7535/7530 to be certain that it
is secure.
• To remove the 7535/7530, press firmly on one of the knobs on either side of the
cradle until it releases. You do not need to press both knobs.
7.11.4 Maintaining The Picker Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the 7535/7530 firmly in place. Although these latches
are designed for at least 80,000 cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer
lock the 7535/7530 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions
contact Psion Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide
Offices). Partial disassembly is required.
7.11.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
Warning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered
cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage,
ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry
location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an
appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector
must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing
an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create
a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.
Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require
special consideration.
