General Instructions
POWER:
•The power input should be 15.6Vdc / 7.05 A. The dock is meant to operate on 14.5 Vdc
to 16 Vdc. Use a recommended power supply for the dock. Panasonic recommends
using a LIND Auto Adapter (LIND part no: PA 1580-1745) for this dock.
WIRING:
•Gamber-Johnson does not recommend relying on a cigarette socket adaptor for powering
vehicle docks. We recommend hard wiring using a good clean ground direct from the
vehicle battery (-) post, and (+) supply from a fused 12v location also directly from the
vehicle battery. All Peripherals connecting to the docking station should get power and
ground from the same location as the dock.
•Visit www.gamberjohnson.com for a copy of our general wiring and troubleshooting guide.
•This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present
EXTERNAL ANTENNA:
•For DPT (Dual Pass Thru) models, there is an option to turn off the external antenna. This
switch is located next to power port of the dock. Toggle the switch gently –excess force
might break the switch. Turning off the external antenna will let the computer use in-built
antenna. By default, the dock comes with the switch in ON position.
SERVICING [ENTRETIEN]:
•If the dock does not work as intended, please contact Gamber-Johnson for
troubleshooting or to schedule a service. [Si le dock ne fonctionne pas comme prévu,
contactez Gamber-Johnson pour le dépannage ou pour planifier un service.]
•Servicing of the dock should be only done by authorized service center personnel.
Unauthorized servicing of the dock will void its warranty. [L'entretien du dock ne doit être
effectué que par le personnel du centre de service autorisé. Un entretien non autorisé du
dock annulera sa garantie.]

Docking the Laptop
Step 1:
Ensure that the dock is unlocked and unlatched.
If locked, insert key and rotate lock 90 degrees
counter-clockwise. If latched, push the latch
inside such that the back hooks move all the
way out.
Step 2:
Lead the front of the handle into the front hooks
on the dock such that the pockets on keyboard
line up with the front hooks. The side tabs
should help aligning the laptop as well.
Step 3:
Push gently in the back center of the keyboard
so that back hook latches. A click sound should
be heard when the back hook latches.
*The laptop can be docked into the dock with lid
open or close. If the lid is open, make sure that
no keys are pressed while docking.
Step 4:
[Additional security] Rotate key 90 degrees
clockwise and remove the key to lock the laptop
in the docking station. The tablet is only fully
secure once the key is removed.

Step 1:
Undocking the Laptop
Ensure that the dock is unlocked. If locked,
insert key and rotate lock 90 degrees counter-
clockwise.
Step 2:
Use your thumb to push the latch in the front.
This will push the back clamp out and the
laptop will eject with a small click sound.
Once the laptop ejects, gently pull the laptop
out of the dock
Cable Management & Mounting
Connect all cables securely to dock ports,
and use tie straps to secure cables to the
“Cable Management Plate” as shown.
The Cable Management Plate has slots, so
if needed, the location can be adjusted
slightly.
The standard mounting bracket that comes
with the vehicle dock features an industry
standard VESA 75mm x 75mm bolt pattern.
This allows easy mounting to many pre-
existing mounts as well as dedicated mounts
from Gamber-Johnson. Use the supplied
#¼-20 hardware for attaching it to the mount.
Attach the mounting bracket to the dock using
the 4 supplied #10-24 UNC screws as shown
above (after attaching the mounting plate to
Gamber-Johnson mount)
