POWER:

vehicle docks. We recommend hard wiring the power adapter using a good clean ground
direct from the vehicle battery neg(-) post, and pos(+) supply from a fused 12vdc location
also directly from the vehicle battery. All peripherals connecting to the docking station
requiring external power should get power and ground from the same location as the dock.
