Vehicle Installation Safety
Caution: Only trained and qualied personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Caution: DO NOT USE THE PRINTER WHILE DRIVING, as this may result in property damage or personal injury.
Zebra Technologies Corp. does not promote the use of these products except when parked or stationary, and
is not responsible for any loss resulting from the use or misuse of our products. Most importantly, we do not

Caution: Do not install the Vehicle Cradle on or near an airbag cover plate or within an airbag zone. Also, do not
install the Vehicle Cradle in a location that will aect vehicle safety or drivability.
Caution: The means of routing and securing the Power Input cable from the Vehicle Cradle through to the
vehicle power source is extremely important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe. To
avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges, provide the cable with proper bushings
and clamping where it passes through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp
vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing a short between the bare wire and the chassis.
This can start a re.

d excess engine
Caution: The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor overcharge the vehicle battery. Either fault
condition in the vehicle electrical system can cause a no-charge condition in the printer battery.
Warning: It is very important to ensure you make the correct cable to power source connections, because
electrical energy from a vehicle’s power system can harm equipment and people.
Caution: If you need to jump start your vehicle from another vehicle battery, disconnect the power cable running
to the Vehicle Cradle. Failure to do so can result in damage to your mobile printer and/or the Vehicle Cradle itself.
