Using the T7000 Vehicle Cradle
You may want to store and charge the xTablet
T7000 in a vehicle cradle between stops.
To place the xTablet T7000 in the cradle
1. Turn the key counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the sliding lock mechanism away from the
grip to unlock the lever arm.
3. Carefully position the xTablet T7000 into the
communications module and let drop into
place.
Note: The communications module, with its
gold contact pins, is spring-loaded and sinks as
the xTablet T7000 is put in place. The spring
action of the module plus the spring-loaded
contact pins put force against the surface
contacts on the xTablet T7000 to ensure a
solid connection.
4. With your hand on the xTablet T7000, pull the
sliding lock mechanism firmly into place.
5. (Optional) Turn the key clockwise.
6. (Optional) Remove the key to fully secure.

To do electrical/communication connections
1. Using the tablet auto adapter, insert its
cigarette lighter connector end into the
bottom power socket on the right side of the
cradle. Use the top socket for other devices,
such as a cell phone.
2. Insert the other end of the tablet auto adapter
in the power connector on the bottom of the
communications module.
Note: The plug contains an 8-Amp, 3 AG fuse.
To replace this fuse when necessary
1. Unscrew the tip of the plug.
2. Remove the fuse from the plug.
3. Carefully insert the spare fuse – be
sure to keep its spring intact.
Note: The total current used must not exceed 8
Amps or you shorten the life of the plug.
The total current used by the vehicle
cradle, xTablet T7000, communications
module, and fans is about 4 Amps.
If you power another device with the other
socket, make sure the device does not
use any more than 2 Amps.
The last 2 Amps protect against surges.
To verify proper communication connections
When power is applied to the vehicle cradle, the
left LED lights a steady green. When the
xTablet T7000 is locked into the cradle, the right
LED blinks three times, then lights a steady
green.
The two green communications module LEDs
stay lit until either the xTablet T7000 is removed
from the cradle or until power is removed from
the communications module.
At the same time, the first LED indicator (power)
on the upper right corner of the xTablet T7000
display lights a steady green. This indicates that
the xTablet T7000 is correctly connected to data
and battery charge lines.
