During Installation



DO NOT connect this docking station to the vehicle battery until:

1. ALL other electrical connections are made

2. Mounting of ALL components is complete

3. VERIFICATION that no shorts exist in the entire system



DO NOT install equipment or route wiring or chords in the deployment path of any

air bag.



When drilling into the vehicle, DO make sure that both sides of the surface are

clear of anything that could be damaged.



It is recommended to install a

32V - 10Amp in-line fuse connected as close to the

battery or power source as possible.

CAUTION: If wiring is shorted to the frame, high current conductors can cause
hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or flying molten metal.

After Installation



Test the docking station to ensure that it is working properly.

File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when performing
maintenance or re-installing.

WARNING: Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result
in property damage, serious injury or death.

PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Conduct a "Bench Test"
Gamber-Johnson strongly advises a "bench test" be conducted to verify that all electronic
and software issues are resolved prior to installation:

1. Make sure computer is operational by itself.

2. Insert computer into docking station and verify that the computer is operating in the
dock.

3. Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including other
equipment (printers, modems, scanners, etc.).

*Gamber-Johnson also recommends positioning of all mounts and equipment in the vehicle

prior to the actual install to verify that mounting locations are safe and practical.

Installing the CF31

computer into the dock

Step 1: Make sure the sliding door, located on the back surface

of the computer, has been opened to expose the computers'
docking connector.

Step 2: Make sure the power switch on the dock is in the "OFF"
position. Panasonic does not recomend "Hot-Docking" the
Toughbook computers.

Make sure no loose or foreign objects are on the surface of the
dock, the connector cover is mounted in the storage location on
the side of the dock, and the slide plate is in the forward
location.

Step 3: Place the front edge of the computer into the dock. The
pocket on the front edge of the computer will fit onto the hook on
the front edge of the dock.

Step 4: Lower the back edge of the computer down onto the slide
plate and guide pins.

Step 5: Push the slide plate with computer, back onto the docking
connector.

Step 6: Rotate the wing turn compression latch 180 degrees
clockwise. The alignment marks on the latch will align when the
latch is in the compressed state. A padlock with a 9/32" diameter
shackle can be used to help secure the computer to the docking
station.

Step 7: Turn "ON" the power switch on the dock to connect power
to the unit.
