Installing the Mobile PDA Cradle
Connecting a Carcomm Euro-Navigator wired GPS Receiver.
How to connect another brand GPS Receiver.
1. Mount the window suction mount or Safety-Mount® (sold seperataly, instructions
included with the product ) To mount the window mount please clean the window and
place the window mount in your preferred position. Tighten the nut on the base of the
mount to make it stick to the window. Place the window mount in a position where it
doesn’t interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
2. You can screw the cradle to your mounting part directly, or use the included swivel.
If you use a Safety-Mount® it may be necessary to drill holes in the Safety-Mount®
to be able to screw on the cradle with or without swivel. You can use the pattern on the
front page to see the positions where to drill the holes in the Safety-Mount®.
Adjust the swivel to optimize your view on the PDA screen and tighten it well.
3. Align the cradle on the rotating swivel or Safety-Mount® and screw the cradle onto it
with the enclosed screws through the 4 holes. Tighten the screws well.
4. Plug the Cigarette jack into the Cigarette plug adaptor, check if the red light of the
cigarette plug is lighted. Now you are able to charge your PDA in the mobile cradle.
5. Disassemble the Cigarette plug or cut it from the wiring loom and strip the wires.
(The cradle is also available with a fuse in the wiring loom instead of cigarette plug.)
6. Now the red wire (with fuse) needs to be connected to the red wire from the cradle
wiring loom. Then the other side of the fuse’s wire needs to be connected to the
vehicle’s 12V Ignition controlled voltage (+15) to avoid draining the vehicle’s battery
when the vehicle is not used for a long time.
The black wire needs to be connected to the Negative Ground of the vehicle.
7. Slide the PDA into the cradle slowly and make sure the PDA is centred well
above the connector. Then press it over the connector gently.
When removing the PDA from the cradle use one hand to hold the cradle and other
hand to pull the PDA out of it.
Connect the PS/2 plug from the GPS to the PS/2 Jack from the PDA cradle.
The PDA will get the data from the GPS receiver and the cradle will supply 5V. power to
the GPS Receiver. The GPS receiver can be connected, plug & play to the PDA Cradle.
Mount the GPS on the dashboard with supplied hook & loop tape or under the
dashboard with included dual sided tape. Make sure it has a clear unobstructed view to
the sky and make sure that the GPS is positioned so that the top is facing upwards.
Now you’re able to setup and use your navigation software. In cars with UV protected
windows the reception will be influenced and decreased.
When connecting another brand GPS Receiver, please check the tables below for the pin
assignment of the PS/2 Female connector. Or check our website for adaptor cables.
Note; The TX and RX connections have to be twisted to the GPS connector.
For permanent installation and connection to the cars ignition power move on to step 5.
Move on to step 7.
