extreme wrist angles that may
cause injury.
Quick Reference Guide 11
Avoid Extreme Wrist Angles
Optimum Wrist Position
12 VC5090 Vehicle Computer
Mounting the Vehicle Computer
Forklifts tend to generate very large shock and vibration pulses due to the
hydraulics and the lack of suspension coupled with (usually) very hard wheels.
The mounting bracket provided with the VC5090 is designed as an isolator. In
order for it to be effective, the bracket base must be securely mounted to a rigid
and strong structure that fully supports the entire base of the bracket.
Most forklifts have a very rigid and durable chassis and outer body panels but top
facing surfaces may be sheet metal or plastic. These thin sheet metal or plastic
surfaces are not suitable for mounting surfaces due to their non-rigid nature.
Important Fixing Information
CAUTION Any modification to supplied mounting bracket could cause
failure of the unit and/or mountings.
• Mounting surface must be flat and stiff and it must extend evenly for
the entire length of the mounting bracket surface.
• All four mounting holes must be used.
• All nuts and bolts must be checked periodically and tightened if
required.
• When installing the vehicle computer, care must be taken to ensure
that the mounting bracket footprint is fully supported. Additional plates
may be required to achieve this.

Routing Electrical Cables
• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or
hot surfaces whenever possible.
• Fix the cable to existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties,
but make sure they are away from any moving or hot surfaces.
• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable gland.
• When fixing the conduit or cable on the outside of a vehicle, use
P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the
clip.
• Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum
recommended radius is 2.5". Do not allow the power cable to bend
against mounting hardware. Use the optional right angled DC power
cable.
• Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often
requires using cable ties approximately every foot, and ensuring the
cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the VC5090.
However, if you must re-position the VC5090 occasionally, ensure

Battery Information
Zebra rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest
standards within the industry. However, there are limitations to how long a battery
can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors affect the life
of a battery pack such as heat, cold, customer usage profiles, age, and severe
drops.
When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that
some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. To minimize
this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry, cool place
between 41° and 77°F (5° and 25°C), the cooler the better) and removed from the
equipment to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half
capacity at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any
contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must
be charged within the 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C) temperature range.
The standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is one year, regardless if the
battery was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer. For
more information on Zebra batteries, please visit
