CAUTION ROAD SAFETY - Do not use the TC75
while driving. Park the vehicle first.
Always ensure the TC75 is fully
inserted into the cradle. Do not place it
on the seat or where it can break loose
in a collision or sudden stop. Lack of
proper insertion may result in property
damage or personal injury. Zebra is not
responsible for any loss resulting from
the use of the products while driving.
Remember: Safety comes first.
Mounting the Cradle to a Flat
Surface
CAUTION Only mount the Vehicle Cradle in a
vertical position. Never mount the
vehicle cradle on the side or upside
down or on a wall that can be subject to
impact or collision of greater than 10Gs,
in accordance with SAE J1455 Section
4.10.3.5.
1. Select a mounting location for the cradle. It should be flat,
and must provide adequate support for the cradle.
2. Prepare the mounting surface, using the mounting
template below, with wall anchors that support the weight
of the cradle and device. The anchors should accept four
M3 screws.

Installation Guide 11
To ensure the TC75 was inserted correctly, listen for the
audible click that signifies that the TC75 locking mechanism
was enabled and the TC75 was locked into place.
CAUTION Ensure that the TC75 is fully inserted
into the cradle. Lack of proper insertion
may result in property damage or
personal injury. Zebra Technologies
Corporation is not responsible for any
loss resulting from the use of the
products while driving.
To remove the TC75 from the cradle, press the release latch,
grasp the TC75 and lift out of the vehicle cradle.
TC75 Battery Charging
Ensure the vehicle cradle is connected to a power source.
See USB I/O Hub Power on page 9.
Insert the TC75 into the cradle. The TC75 starts to charge
through the cradle as soon as it is inserted. This does not
deplete the vehicle battery significantly. The battery charges
in approximately four hours. See LED Indicators on page 12
for all charging indications.
Charging Note
The Vehicle Cradle operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C.
When in the cradle, the TC75 will only charge when its
temperature is between 0°C to +40°C.

correctly. If the battery still
does not charge, contact
system administrator.
The TC75 battery charging
LED slowly blinks amber
when the TC75 is correctly

Ambient temperature within
the vehicle may be too high
or too low. Charging will
begin when temperature
within the vehicle is within the
TC75 charging temperature
range (0 °C to 40 °C).
