E) RJ11 Privacy handset
3.4. PRO/MARINE Security Bolts
Two security bolts ensure the PRO/MARINE docking unit is firmly fixed to the wall and only
removed by an ‘authorized’ (the security key holder) personnel.
Once the mounting bracket has been attached to the wall, the dock slides down into place on the
keyhole shaped slots. These two security bolts prevent the docking station from sliding back up
freeing the dock.
The security bolts are 4mm in diameter and have a slot for a flat blade screwdriver. The threaded
M4 nutserts are highlighted in Figure 8 that receive the security bolts. The bolt under the privacy
handset mounting cup must be fitted prior to the cup being screwed into place. The second bolt is

4. Installation
4.1. PRO/MARINE – Cable routing
The IsatDock provides three different cable
routing options when installing the docking
station.
Cables may exit via path ‘A’ that travels
around to the top of the dock allowing for
the interface cables to be run with the
external antenna connections. Path ‘B’
directs cables out the base of the dock while
path ‘C’ results in cables exiting to the side.
In all cases the cables pass through the IP
sealing foam and plastic cable guides at the
same point.
Figure 12 – PRO/MARINE cable routing options
For an extra clean installation, a hole may be driven through the surface directly behind the docking
station. Right angled adapters are fitted to the external antenna connectors and the cables are
routed via path ‘A’ out through the same hole. With the cables routed in this manner, there are no
cables visibly exiting the docking station due to the recessed antenna connectors at the top of the
docking station.

4.3. PRO/MARINE – Privacy Handset
There are two options for the privacy handset mounting cup depending upon the type of docking
station and the mounting orientation of the docking station. One mounting cup has a sprung upper
section while the second is a single molded piece with a reversible retention clip.
The three options are shown below in Figure 13.
Option A shows a horizontal desk mounted situation. The ‘springless’ cup is fitted to the docking
station with the mounting clip in a ‘flush’ position.
Option B shows how the mounting clip can be slid out and reversed, producing a protruding point
that the Privacy handset rests upon. For a wall mounted docking station this retains the privacy
handset and the springless cup has enough height to allow the handset to rise up off the clip and
out of the mounting cup.
Option C. 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 (see Figure 15)

The Privacy Handset connects to the docking station via a RJ9 connector. For the PRO / MARINE
versions, the privacy handset is connected beneath the rear panel. Once connected, the cable is
run back through the foam and placed in the ‘S’ channel through the base of the phone.

4.4. PRO/MARINE Mounting Orientations
The IsatDock PRO/MARINE can be mounted either flat on a desk or vertically to a wall. When wall
mounting the docking station, the wall bracket is first screwed to the wall and the dock is slid into
place. Two security pins are then slid into place locking the dock to the wall.
The docking station can be elevated in the desk mounted orientation by two retractable feet
included in the mounting bracket.

There are four keyhole shaped slots in the mounting bracket that mate with feet on the rear of the
plastics. To attach the bracket, the larger end of the keyhole will pass over the feet (see ‘B’ below).
The bracket is then slid up to lock the feet into the narrow section of the keyhole.

Figure 19 – Fitting the Mounting Bracket
4.5. PRO/MARINE – Mounting Bracket
If the PRO/MARINE docking station is to be mounted vertically, the bracket is first mounted to the
wall and the docking station then attaches to the bracket. There are the options of nine mounting
holes in the bracket or if required, extra holes could be drilled in the bracket to mate with the
intended surface.
The mounting bracket is then attached to the docking station via four ‘mushroom’ shaped feet.

5.3. 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.
Wiring for a Marine Application
When installed in a marine application using the DC cable lead, the YELLOW wire of the DC cable lead can be wired to a suitable
panel switch which will allow the IsatPhone Pro to be turned on and off when not in use or to dock or undock the IsatPhone Pro handset.
