ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer
Us in g yo u r Ra d io s with a n RF Ve h ic le Do c k
If you have the X10gx RF vehicle dock (DRS P/N 9800F26200-0000) and the optional GPS
receiver and/or WWAN radios, you can switch to externally mounted vehicle antennas for
improved operation. By using external antennas, you can reduce the attenuating effects of the
vehicle cab and the constantly changing direction of the internal antennas.
When configured in ARMORutils, the RF multiplexer in the X10gx will switch the radios to the
external antennas whenever the tablet is docked and switch them back to the internal antennas
when the tablet is undocked.
Follow the instructions in Table 19 to configure your X10gx to use external antennas.
NOTE
If you have a Non-RF dock or you have an RF dock but are not
connected to external antennas, you must set the Dock RF Sw in
the ARMORutils Wireless Setup dialog window to “Disable” in
order to use the tablet’s internal antennas.
