Frequently Asked Questions - 7300-0190-10 Gamber-Johnson

How do I dock the Panasonic CF20 laptop into the cradle?

Ensure the dock is unlocked. Insert the front of the keyboard into the dock so that the pockets on the keyboard line up with the front hooks. Push gently in the back center of the keyboard until the back hook latches with a click. The laptop can be docked with the lid open or closed.

How do I undock the laptop?

Unlock the dock by inserting the key and rotating it 90 degrees counterclockwise. Use your thumb to push the latch in the front; the laptop will eject with a click. Gently pull the laptop out.

What are the power requirements for the dock?

The power input should be 15.6Vdc / 7.05A. The dock operates on 14.5Vdc to 16Vdc. Use a recommended power supply, such as the Lind Auto Adapter (Lind part no: PA 1580-1745).

How can I tell if the laptop is properly docked?

Check the docked/undocked indicator in the front of the dock above the latch. The hole turns completely silver when docked correctly. If it remains black or partially silver, the laptop is not fully docked.

Can I use a cigarette lighter adapter to power the dock?

Gamber-Johnson does not recommend relying on a cigarette socket adapter. It is recommended to hardwire using a clean ground direct from the vehicle battery (-) post and a fused 12V supply from the battery (+).

How do I install the screen lock module if purchased separately?

Attach the Screen Lock Module (part no. 7300-0192) to the passenger side of the dock using the provided hardware. During docking, move the plastic tab to the right to avoid obstruction. After locking the dock, push the tab to the left to minimize screen rattle.

What is the VESA mounting pattern of the bracket?

The mounting bracket features an industry standard VESA 75mm x 75mm bolt pattern, allowing easy mounting to many pre-existing mounts and dedicated Gamber-Johnson mounts.

How do I manage cables with this dock?

Connect all cables securely to the dock ports and use tie straps to secure them to the Cable Management Bar. The bar has adjustable slots to fine-tune the location.

How do I tighten the screen lock arm if it becomes loose?

After repetitive use, the screen lock arm may loosen. Use an Allen key to tighten the 1/4-20 screw to the desired torque.

What should I do if the dock does not power on?

Check the power connections. Ensure the input voltage is between 14.5Vdc and 16Vdc and that the power supply is rated for 15.6Vdc/7.05A. Verify the wiring is hardwired directly to the vehicle battery with a clean ground. Refer to the Gamber-Johnson wiring guide at www.gamberjohnson.com.

General Instructions

POWER:

- The power input should be 15.6Vdc / 7.05 A. The dock is meant to operate on 14.5 Vdc to 16 Vdc. Use a recommended power supply for the dock. Panasonic recommends using a Lind Auto Adapter (Lind part no: PA 1580-1745) for this dock.

WIRING:

• Gamber-Johnson does not recommend relying on a cigarette socket adaptor for powering vehicle docks. We recommend hard wiring using a good clean ground direct from the vehicle battery (-) post, and (+) supply from a fused 12v location also directly from the vehicle battery. All Peripherals connecting to the docking station should get power and ground from the same location as the dock.

SERVICING [ENTRETIEN]:

- For DPT (Dual Pass Thru) models, there is an option to turn off the external antenna. This switch is located next to power port of the dock. Toggle the switch gently – excess force might break the switch. Turning off the external antenna will let the computer use in-built antenna. By default, the dock comes with the switch in ON position.

Cable Management & Mounting

Connect all cables securely to dock ports, and use tie straps to secure cables to the "Cable Management Bar" as shown.

The cable tie bar has slots, so if needed, the location can be adjusted slightly.

Once you have attached all cables to the vehicle dock, attach the mounting bracket to the dock using the 4 supplied #10-24 UNC screws.

The standard mounting bracket that comes with the vehicle dock features an industry standard VESA 75mm x 75mm bolt pattern. This allows easy mounting to many pre-existing mounts as well as dedicated mounts from Gamber Johnson. Use the supplied #1/4-20 hardware for mounting. Attach the mounting bracket in the orientation shown aside.

Screen Lock/Support Instructions

Screen Lock prevents theft deterrence of the tablet from the laptop while it is in the dock. Screen Lock module is not included in all the kits. It comes attached to the dock if it is included in the kit.

A Screen Lock module could be purchased separately and installed later. If the Screen Lock was purchased separately, attach it to the passenger side of the dock using the hardware provided.

Once the Screen Lock module is attached to the dock:

While docking, make sure that the plastic tab is moved all the right so that it is not obstructing while docking the laptop into the dock.

Once the laptop is docked securely, Rotate key 90 degrees clockwise and remove the key to lock the Screen Lock. This would secure the tablet to the keyboard and the dock.

Once the Screen Lock is locked, push the plastic tab to the left. This would minimise the screen rattle during extreme vibration.

Before you undock the laptop, make sure the screen lock is unlocked.

NOTE: The Screen Lock arm might get loose after repetitive use (10,000 cycles). If the arm gets loose, tighten the above shown ¼-20 screw to desired torque using an allen key
