ALL other electrical connections are made.1.
Mounting of ALL components is complete.2.
VERIFICATION that no shorts exist in the entire system.3.

DO NOT install equipment or route wiring or cords in the deployment path of •
any air bags.

When drilling into the vehicle, DO make sure that both sides of the surface are •
clear of anything that could be damaged.

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 preforming
maintenance or re-installing.

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:

Make sure computer is operational by itself.1.
Insert computer into docking station and verify that the computer is operating in 2.
the dock.
Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including 3.
other equipment (printer, modems, scanners, etc.)

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

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

POWER SUPPLY INFORMATION

This docking station uses an external power supply. Gamber-Johnson recommends an
automobile adapter from Lind Electronic (Part Number CF-LND1224A.) This power supply
can receive 12-32Vdc/15A max for input power and provides 15Vdc/8A of output
power. Along with the power supply comes cables to be used for connecting the output
to the dock and another cable to be used for plugging into a cigarette lighter for easy
connections.

Gamber-Johnson has provided a way to attach this power supply to the back of the
dock using a bracket contained within the hardware bag that comes with the unit. See
Figure 2.

connected to the dock

Notes:

Bracket contains a notch on one end for going over the end of the power 1.
supply that contains the fuse.
Bracket is in the hardware bag along with the screws needed for attaching the 2.
bracket.
It is also recommended that a tie wraps be used to secure excess cable to the 3.
bracket to hold it in place.
If at anytime the fuse is blown (located on the power supply)replace it with 4.
and equivalent 15 Amp fuse that conforms to SAE standard J1128 only.
Cigarette adapter has a slide switch to allow for it to be used either in wide or 5.
narrow sockets but it does not have an internal fuse.
If it is determine not to use the cigarette lighter connection and to hard wire it 6.
is Gamber-Johnson requirement that another inline fuse (15Amp)(not supplied)
be installed as close to the power source as possible (less than 10") This will
provide the necessary protection should wire be shorted that connects to the
dock power supply.
Protect all wiring from abrasion and chaffing by using wire loom or conduit and 7.
route away from moving parts or areas where high temperatures may occur.
If a timing device is used follow th e instructions of the manufacturer of that 8.
device. It must be wired in-line with the supply voltage (V+) to the docking
station.

INSERTING COMPUTER into the DOCK

Make sure the sliding door (located on 1.
the backside of the computer) has been
opened, exposing the computer's
docking connector. (see Figure 3)

Disengage over center latches, one on 2.
each side of the dock to allow for them
to separate from the hooks that hold
down the top catch. Rotate top catch
up and then back to allow room for the
computer to be inserted. (see Figure 4).

Figure 3

Insert bottom edge of the computer into 3.
the dock at an angle so that the hooks
on the dock can be nested into the
recessed areas located on the front
lower portion of the computer. (see
Figure 5. Rotate computer backwards
into the dock until fully seated in the
dock. Rotate top catch forward and
down onto the computer and re-engage
over center latches to secure computer
in the dock.

To remove computer make sure 4.
computer is turned off and reverse
procedure above.
