POWERING THE KYMAN-NET™ VEHICLE CRADLE
Once the cradle has been mounted, it is necessary to prepare the power cable termination to connect the
cradle to the vehicle power source.
−
Brown wire: connect to a V+ (10 to 32 Vdc) vehicle power source;
−
Blue wire: connect to the vehicle ground wire or chassis ground;
−
Green/Yellow wire: not connected.
Figure 3 – Fuse Holder
For connection to the vehicle power source it is
possible to use the in-line fuse (with holder)
supplied with the cradle.
Verify that the a 8 A slow-blow fuse is contained
within the holder, then splice it to the end of the
brown wire of the cable. Make the distance
between fuse holder and power connection point as
short as possible and apply a caution label on the
fuse holder.
Once the power cable termination has been
completed, it is possible to connect the Kyman-
NET™ Vehicle Cradle to the vehicle power.

inserted, the LED remains off while the
cradle is still powered.

CONNECTION
The Kyman-NET™ Vehicle Cradle can be connected to a host by means of an RS232 interface.
RS232 Connection
The Kyman-NET™ Vehicle Cradle can be connected to the host by means of any standard null-modem
cable. A 9-pin female D-Sub connector must be connected to the RS232 port of the cradle. Once the host
has been turned on, insert the Kyman-NET™ mobile computer into the cradle.
Pin 9 of the Vehicle Cradle RS232 connector (normally not connected in null-modem cables), supplies
reg5 Vdc ± 5% 500 mA max power.

CONFIGURING KYMAN-NET™ MOBILE COMPUTER FOR VOCAL COMMUNICATION
By default vocal communication takes place through the Kyman-NET™ Mobile Computer integrated
loudspeaker and microphone. Once inserted into the vehicle cradle, the communication has to be
managed by the cradle itself. Thus, the mobile computer must be configured through the volume settings
applet available in the Windows CE .NET control panel to correctly manage the communication (refer to
the Kyman-NET™ User’s Manual for more details).
NOTE
Vocal Communication requires Kyman-NET™ Mobile Computer SW version 1.34
or later.
