Introduction

This guide describes how to install and use a CRD-TC58-WCVC-01 Wireless Vehicle Cradle with a TC58 touch computers.

Install the cradle into a vehicle. Once installed, the cradle:

• Holds the TC58 securely in place
• Provides wireless power for operating the TC58. Requirements

For mounting onto a RAM Mount®:

• RAM Mount (sold separately)
• Four M4 screws (included)

Parts

Mounting the Cradle to a RAM Mount

To mount the cradle onto a diamond or round shaped RAM Mount:

CAUTION: Only mount the Vehicle Cradle in a vertical position. Never mount the vehicle cradle on the side or upside down or on a wall that can be subject to impact or collision of greater than 10Gs, in accordance with SAE J1455 Section 4.10.3.5.

1. Follow the instructions that are provided with the RAM Mount for RAM Mount mounting instructions.

2. Align the vehicle cradle with the RAM Mount ball base.

3. Secure the vehicle cradle to the ball base using M4 screws, lock washers and flat washers (provided).
   CAUTION: Do not install a Vehicle Cradle on or near an air bag cover plate or within an aerobic zone. Also, do not install it in a location that affects vehicle safety or drivability

4. Secure the RAM Mount to the vehicle depending upon the type of RAM Mount. See instructions provided with RAM Mount.

5. Tighten the screw to secure the cradle to the mounting plate.

6. Adjust RAM Mount according to RAM Mount instructions.

Power Connection

The wireless vehicle cradle can be powered using a CLA (cigarette lighter receptacle) cable.

To connect the power to the cradle with a CLA cable, plug the CLA cable connector into the wireless vehicle cradle cable and the cigarette adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle.

TC58 Insertion

To ensure the TC58 is inserted correctly, align the device with the guard rails on the bottom of the cradle while inserting the device. Listen for the audible click that signifies that the TC58 locking mechanism is enabled and the TC58 is locked into place.

CAUTION: Ensure that the TC58 is fully inserted into the cradle. Lack of proper insertion may result in property damage or personal injury. Zebra Technologies Corporation is not responsible for any loss resulting from the use of the products while driving.

TC5X Removal

To remove the TC58 from the cradle, lift the release latch, grasp the TC58 and lift out of the vehicle cradle.

TC58 Battery Charging

NOTE: A wireless charge battery must be used for the charging function of the wireless charge vehicle cradle to work.

Ensure the vehicle cradle is connected to a power source. See Power Connection on page 8.

Insert the TC58 into the cradle. The TC58 starts to charge through the cradle as soon as it is inserted. This does not deplete the vehicle battery significantly. The battery charges in approximately four hours. See LED Indicators on page 9 for all charging indications.

Charging Note
The Vehicle Cradle operating temperature is -40°C to +50°C. When in the cradle, the TC58 only charges when its temperature is between 0°C to +40°C.

Care and Cleaning
Avoid getting oils, grease or gasoline on the cradle. When necessary, clean the cradle with a mild cleaner. If you are not sure whether or not to use a particular cleaner, contact Zebra for advice.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the Power Input cable is securely connected to the cradle’s Power Port
TC58 battery is not charging.| TC58 was removed from the cradle too soon.| Replace the TC58 in the cradle; you may have removed it before it was recharged. If a TC58 battery is fully depleted, it can take six hours to fully recharge the battery.
Battery is faulty| Replace the battery.
TC58 was not placed correctly in the cradle.| Remove the TC58from the cradle, and re-insert correctly. If the battery still does not charge, contact system administrator. The TC58 battery charging LED slowly blinks amber when the TC58 is correctly inserted and charging.
Ambient temperature is too high or too low.| Ambient temperature within the vehicle may be too high or too low. Charging will begin when temperature within the vehicle is within the TC58 charging temperature range (0 °C to 40 °C).
