Make sure the computer is operational by itself.
2.
Insert computer into the docking station and verify that the computer is operating in the dock.
3.
Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including other equipment (printers,
modems, scanners, etc.)
Gamber-Johnson recommends positioning of all mounts and equipment in the vehicle prior to the actual install to
verify that mounting locations are safe and practical.
