QUICK START
Verify that Rhino-NET™ and all the parts supplied with the equipment are present and intact
when opening the packaging.
Keep this package should it be necessary for shipping to a technical assistance centre.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is preconfigured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. external barcode scanner) and a
power source.
Use this guide as you would any other source book - reading portions to learn about the
Rhino-NET™, and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular
subject. This guide takes you through installation and operation of the Rhino-NET™ terminal.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Install Mounting Bracket on vehicle (see par. 2.2 or 2.3).
2. Secure Rhino-NET™ in Mounting Bracket Assembly (see par. 2.4).
Contact the nearest Datalogic distributor for further information.
3. Connect power cable to the vehicle and Rhino-NET™ (see par. 2.5).
4. Install accessories on Rhino-NET™, e.g. scanner (see pars. 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8).
5. Turn Rhino-NET™ on.
The Rhino-NET™ should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the vehicle operator's vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.
• Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.
• Can be easily accessed by an operator seated in the driver's seat.
