Teklogix 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
The external antennas consist of a 2.4 GHz Magmount antenna (PN 97583) and a
2.4 GHz 2 DBI Omni Articulating antenna (PN 96302). The antennas connect to the
proprietary SMA-type connector on the metal dome cover of the computer. Turn the
antennas in a counter-clockwise direction.
The magmount antenna works best when placed vertically and away from metal
objects that may interfere with the radio signal. The best location for the magnetic
mount on a forklift truck is on the middle of the roof or cab cover, at least 20
centimeters away from the operator.
Warning: As a safety precaution, USERS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO
CHANGE THE ANTENNA.
4.2.8 Power Options
AC/DC indoor power adaptors and DC/DC vehicle power adaptors are available for
the 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer. Use of any other power adaptors may damage
the computer. To connect power to the 8570, connect the appropriate adaptor (AC or
DC) to the power connector at the back of the computer (see Figure 3.5 on page 31).
The power connector is keyed to prevent an improper connection. Secure the AC or
DC adaptor connector to the power connector by mating the connectors and turning
the adaptor connector ring clockwise until it stops.
External power is provided through a four-pin stationary receptacle. When
disconnecting the power adaptor, do not pull or twist the cords. Doing so may result
in the cord malfunctioning and/or the connector being damaged
