MVP-KS Kickstand for MVP Touch Panels (FG5965-12)
Overview
The MVP-KS Kickstand (FG5965-12) is compatible with both MVP touch panel
models: MVP-7500 and MVP-8400. This device provides the ability to easily rest
an MVP onto any flat level surface.
By connecting and securing the MVP-KS to the rear of the MVP, you are
now able to use the kickstand’s rubber grip to provide a "grip" on the
desired level surface.
The MVP-KS mounts easily to the rear of the MVP by using both a set of
alignment guide pins and a retractable latch to secure the kickstand to the MVP.

Note: Upon proper connection, you should hear a "click" when the latch
securely "grabs" onto the metallic plate.

suddenly become detached and be damaged.

the panel during the removal process.
