Introduction

The Motorola VC6000 series is a rugged vehicle computer, specifically designed for the harsh conditions of the mobile environment.

The VC6000 series enables real-time data access, collection, capture and report of information related to the driver’s workflow, status and location.

The VC6000 series offers low width and height and thin design for minimal driver obstruction and maximum space utilization. It has a rugged construction: IP64-sealed, aluminum rear housing and MIL-STD-810F military ratings. The unit is designed to withstand the most extreme environments including lift truck mounting use cases.

The VC6000 series offers programmable navigation keys with tactile feedback and QWERTY keyboard with large keys ideal for gloved hands, all backlit.

Data can be entered using the touch-screen, built-in keyboard or an external bar code scanner.

Cellular and Wi-Fi radios are used to exchange voice and data with wide and local area networks.

Bluetooth devices such as printers, bar code scanners, handsfree speakers and headsets.

Among its many communication interfaces, the VC6096 model contains an internal Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, ensuring reliable and accurate vehicle location.

The VC6000 series offers light weight flexible mounting with VESA100 compatibility.

The VC6090 comes with pre-loaded, Pre-licensed Terminal Emulation for out-of-the-box terminal emulation solution.

The VC6090 is MSP compatible with easy and cost-effective centralized remote management.

The VC6000 series provides USB connectivity with two USB host ports to connect a corded bar code scanner and for a service flash memory stick. Another USB Client port is provided for ActivSync.

technology is used for cordless connection of peripheral

2 VC6000 Series Vehicle Computers

It also provides RS232 and GPIOs connectivity with two RS232, 8 Digital Inputs, 8 Digital Outputs and 2 Analog Inputs for building flexible solutions.

While the VC6090 model includes internal antennas, the VC6096 model external antennas and other accessories require a professional installation, performed by trained and licensed personnel. For proper installation requirements, contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer.

Installing a SIM Card (VC6096 only)

Before using the VC6096 in a cellular network, make sure that the VC6096 is equipped with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, obtained form your service provider. The SIM card is a small smart card that fits into the VC6096. The SIM card holds the personalized information about the VC6096, including network activation and phone book entries.

To install the SIM card:

1. Remove the T8 screw that secures the SIM Card Door and open the door.

2. Position the SIM Card with the contacts facing the back of the VC6096, and insert into the SIM Slot. The SIM Card corner notch fits into the slot only one way (See figure below).

3. Use a pen to push the SIM Card inwards to lock.

4. Place the SIM Card Door and secure the T8 Screw.

NOTE The VC6096 powers on only if the T8 Screw is fully secured.



5. Torque the T8 Screw to 3.4 kgf-cm (3 in-lbs).
