Optional Devices
21
Capacitive touch screen needs a ground loop between human body and screen
panel’s ground terminal. Otherwise it would not activate when touched with one
hand. It is generally OK if the AC adapter is attached or the computer/panel is
mounted on a vehicle’s metal parts. Holding the computer/panel with the other
hand will form the loop, too.
PCMCIA Cover
Besides the attached PCMCIA rubber cover, there is an optional cover with a
metal frame that can be fixed by screws. The cover provides protection from dust
or water for cabled PCMCIA cards. Users may glue the cable outlet to seal it.
Vehicle Adapter
Converts power from car lighters or truck batteries to DC +19V, the same output
ratings as AC adapters. It can power the system and charge the batteries
simultaneously.
Remove or disconnect the adapter when leaving the vehicle to avoid battery
exhaustion.
Dual Battery Charger
This charger provides two slots for the Primary and Secondary battery
respectively. It allows charging of both batteries simultaneously. Accepts power
from AC adapter or Vehicle adapter. It takes approximately 3 hours to fully
charge both batteries.

vehicle installation:
