3. Functionality
3.1. Docking Procedure
The following docking procedure is common across each of the docking station types
PREPARATION:
To place the IsatPro Phone into the docking unit, both the ‘doors’ on the
external antenna connectors and the USB/Audio connectors need to
opened.
The antenna ‘door’ must be placed at 90 degrees to the antenna
connector cavity and run parallel to the top edge of the phone
The ‘door’ in the base of the phone should be in the fully opened position.
Figure 2 – Door Openings
DOCKING:
To dock the handset, align the IsatPhone with the phone tray and slide the handset down until it
seats flush to the bottom of the tray
Swing the phone down into the cradle by applying pressure to the top of the handset. An audible
‘click’ is heard when the phone is in the docked position.

3.4. Adjusting LED Brightness
Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together will put the docking station into LED brightness
adjustment mode. Once in this mode the LED’s will flash. Press UP or DOWN to increase or
decrease the LED brightness to a comfortable level, depending on your environment. This mode
will automatically timeout after 5 seconds of button inactivity.
3.5. Keylock
A barrel type lock is situated in the top of the dock. When locked, the eject button cannot be
depressed and the latch holding the top of the handset in position cannot be disengaged from the
IsatPhone Pro. Once locked, the access to the security bolt beneath the handset is also denied
thus ensuring the PRO/MARINE docking stations cannot be removed from their mounting bracket.

4. Installation
4.1. Privacy Handset
The privacy handset is an accessory that allows users to make private calls. The privacy handset is
used in conjunction with a mounting cup, that detects when the handset is ON or OFF hook.
The Privacy Handset should reside in the privacy handset cup when not in use.
In harsh environments, the Privacy handset is actively retained in the mounting cup. This is
achieved by using the ‘sprung’ mounting cup. To remove the handset from the cup, the phone is
lifted up against the pressure of the spring until it clears the lower mounting pip and can be
removed from the docking station.
Figure 6 – Privacy Handset mounting cup
The privacy handset can be
mounted to either the left or right

screw holes are visible
3 Place the mounting arm and RAM mounting
pivot over the holes and insert and tighten the
bolts.
4 Place the privacy handset cup over the mounting
arm, insert bolts and tighten on locking nuts.

4.3. LITE/DRIVE – RAM Mount
The interface for mounting the IsatDock LITE/DRIVE is a ball-joint style arm fixed between two
mounting plates. (shown below). This provides a compact, robust and flexible mounting
arrangement that attaches the dock on either a horizontal, inclined, or vertical surface
The rear plastic housing of the dock is recessed in the shape of the mount, with M4 brass nutserts
molded into the plastic.

5.1. DRIVE – Main Loom
When the IsatDock DRIVE is attached to the RAM mount, the
main interface loom exits from the rear of the plastics as shown
in Figure 8. Tabled below are each of the connections found at
the end of this loom.

5.2. Powering from the “DC power cable / lead”
The DC power cable / lead can be used where AC power is unavailable. This can be connected to a 9 to 32V DC power source
(such as a vehicle battery).
1. Route the power cable from the IsatDock cradle to the connection point, DO NOT apply power until complete.
2. Connect the BLACK Ground wire to negative battery / vehicle chassis (if negatively grounded chassis).
3. Connect the RED +VIN wire to the vehicle + Battery via a 3A fuse.
4. Connect the YELLOW Accessory wire to the vehicle accessory power, via a 1A fuse. (This may be connected to Vehicle Ignition
voltage if Accessory power is unavailable). The Accessory (or ON/Off Sense) enables the IsatDock to automatically power on
and off as the vehicle key is enabled. If this function is not required, this YELLOW Accessory wire MUST be also connected to the +VIN
(RED wire).
ACC - On/Off Feature (DC cable lead)
The DC Power lead allows users to control the on/off status of the IsatDock. This input (YELLOW wire of the DC cable lead) can
be connected to a vehicle’s accessories, ignition or other similar circuits to allow the user to control the on/off status of the IsatDock in
synchronization with a vehicles operation. If this function is not required, this YELLOW wire MUST be connected to the +VIN (RED wire).
By default the IsatDock will stay on for 20 minutes after being switched off by Accessories. If Accessories is switched off during a call, the
IsatDock will stay on for 20 minutes after the termination of the call.
