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:
•PMT 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.precisionmounts.com/support/installation-user-guides.html 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
•In undocking position, DO NOT put fingers
between the hooks and pin housing to avoid
pinch fingers!
SERVICING [ENTRETIEN]:
•If the dock does not work as intended, please contact PMT for troubleshooting or to schedule
a service. [Si le dock ne fonctionne pas comme prévu, contactez PMT 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.]
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.

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.
**Dock the FZ55 laptop while pushing the center
rear of the laptop. If pushed on the side, make
sure to check both hooks are fully engaged before
any operation.
Always push in the red area as shown in the
picture.
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.

Undocking the Laptop
Step 1:
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
connections, and use tie straps to secure
cables to the cable tie rail. Ensure to leave
enough slack in wires exiting dock so that
any positioning adjustments will not strain
the cables or connections.
Use tie straps to secure opposite cable
ends to another location in the vehicle.
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 PMT. 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 PMT mount)
