It is highly recommended to use the ACC-0794 Universal
Mount as an interface between the Firebird VMU and the
mounting bracketry that will be used to attach it to the
forklift. It provides clearance for power and scanner cords to
connect to the rear panel and provides multiple mounting
hole patterns such as VESA 75 and AMPs.

Sanitizing Your Device
The best way to clean and sanitize your AML mobile computer or
kiosk is to use a diluted solution of three-parts water and one-part
rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is a diluted form of isopropyl
alcohol. It typically contains 70% isopropyl alcohol with the
balance consisting of other denaturants. Do not use full-strength
isopropyl alcohol.
Apply the solution to a soft cloth first, and then wipe all surfaces
of the device.
