Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Powering from the “DC power cable / lead” The DC power cable / lead can be used where AC power is unavailable. This can be connected to a 9 to 32V DC power source (such as a vehicle battery). 1. Route the power cable from the IsatDock cradle to the connection point, DO NOT apply power until complete. 2. Connect the BLACK Ground wire to negative battery / vehicle chassis (if negatively grounded chassis). 3. Connect the RED +VIN wire to the vehicle + Battery via a 3A fuse. 4. Connect the YELLOW Accessory wire to the vehicle accessory power, via a 1A fuse. (This may be connected to Vehicle Ignition voltage if Accessory power is unavailable). The Accessory (or ON/Off Sense) enables the IsatDock to automatically power on and off as the vehicle key is enabled. If this function is not required, this YELLOW Accessory wire MUST be also connected to the +VIN (RED wire). ACC - On/Off Feature (DC cable lead) The DC Power lead allows users to control the on/off status of the IsatDock. This input (YELLOW wire of the DC cable lead) can be connected to a vehicle’s accessories, ignition or other similar circuits to allow the user to control the on/off status of the IsatDock in synchronization with a vehicles operation. If this function is not required, this YELLOW wire MUST be connected to the +VIN (RED wire). By default the IsatDock will stay on for 20 minutes after being switched off by Accessories. If Accessories is switched off during a call, the IsatDock will stay on for 20 minutes after the termination of the call. Page 17 of 25 BETA – IsatDock Drive/Lite Overview 6. Physical Dimensions 6.1.
