Passive Vehicle Mount Cradle
A passive vehicle mount cradle is available for the MX7. The cradle restrains the MX7. The
passive cradle does not have an external device connector e.g. power/RS-232 cable. Wireless
client interaction is available as long as the mobile device has sufficient energy in the MX7 main
battery pack and a clear signal path.
The cradle is lined with strips of hook-and-loop fabric to ensure a snug fit between the MX7 and
the inside of the cradle.
The vehicle cradle should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the driver's vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.
• Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.
• Can be easily accessed by a user seated in the driver's seat.
There are two mounting options for the cradle:
• U-bracket mounting
• RAM ball cylinder mounting
Before installation begins, verify you have the applicable vehicle mounting bracket assembly
components necessary for your mount type, as shown in the section titled “Assembly
Components”.
Do not slide the MX7 into the passive cradle until the cradle is securely fastened to the
vehicle.
