connects to an external vehicle-mount antenna The IsatDock LITE allows the option of using
an optional privacy mode handset mounted alongside the unit.
2. IsatDock DRIVE
The dock is design specifically for an in-vehicle handsfree application, connecting to an
external vehicle-mount antenna The IsatDock DRIVE allows for the use of an optional
privacy mode handset mounted alongside the unit or an external speaker and microphone.
The IsatDock DRIVE incorporates inbuilt GPS tracking and the following additional external
interfaces: an alert loop, radio muting, and horn alerts.
3. IsatDock PRO
The IsatDock PRO allows the flexibility of using a privacy mode handset mounted to the unit
or an RJ11/POTS handset connected directly to the rear. The user is also able to operate in
a hands free mode with a microphone and speaker combination build into the dock. The
installation options of the IsatDock PRO enable the user to mount the IsatDock PRO in
either a vertical or horizontal position.
4. IsatDock MARINE
The IsatDock MARINE docking station allows the flexibility of using a privacy mode handset
mounted to the unit or an RJ11/POTS handset connected directly to the unit. The terminal

COVER
To place the IsatPro Phone into the docking unit, both the ‘doors’ on the
external antenna connectors and the USB/Audio connectors need to
opened.
The antenna ‘door’ must be placed at 90 degrees to the antenna
connector cavity and run parallel to the top edge of the phone
The ‘door’ in the base of the phone should be in the fully opened position.

Adjusting LED Brightness
Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together will put the docking station into LED brightness
adjustment mode. Once in this mode the LED’s will flash. Press UP or DOWN to increase or
decrease the LED brightness to a comfortable level, depending on your environment. This mode
will automatically timeout after 5 seconds of button inactivity.

Keylock
A barrel type lock is situated in the top of the dock. When locked, the eject button cannot be
depressed and the latch holding the top of the handset in position cannot be disengaged from the
IsatPhone Pro. Once locked, the access to the security bolt beneath the handset is also denied
thus ensuring the PRO/MARINE docking stations cannot be removed from their mounting bracket.

4.1.
Privacy Handset
The privacy handset is an accessory that allows users to make private calls. The privacy handset is
used in conjunction with a mounting cup, that detects when the handset is ON or OFF hook.
The Privacy Handset should reside in the privacy handset cup when not in use.
In harsh environments, the Privacy handset is actively retained in the mounting cup. This is
achieved by using the ‘sprung’ mounting cup. To remove the handset from the cup, the phone is
lifted up against the pressure of the spring until it clears the lower mounting pip and can be
removed from the docking station.
The privacy handset can be
mounted to either the left or right

LITE/DRIVE – RAM Mount
The interface for mounting the IsatDock LITE/DRIVE is a ball-joint style arm fixed between two
mounting plates. (shown below). This provides a compact, robust and flexible mounting
arrangement that attaches the dock on either a horizontal, inclined, or vertical surface
The rear plastic housing of the dock is recessed in the shape of the mount, with M4 brass nutserts
molded into the plastic.

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.

7. Placing a call – Inbuilt speakerphone (Drive) and Privacy handset (Lite
& Drive)
1. Dock the IsatPhone into the docking station
2. Wait for the docking station to synchronize with the IsatPhone. If the IsatPhone Pro was
inserted in the OFF state it can take approximately 1minute for the handset to turn ON and
synchronize with the docking station.
3. Check that the status LED is solid green
4. Dial the destination number on the IsatPhone Pro’s keypad and place the call
5. By default the IsatDock Drive will start all calls in speakerphone mode. If you wish to switch
to using the Privacy handset you can do so by taking the privacy handset off-hook.
6. Terminate the call by returning the Privacy Handset back to ON-Hook or by pressing the red
button on the IsatPhone Pro handset.
8. Adjusting Volume
NOTE: The IsatPhone Pro handset has its own volume controls for both incoming call
ringing and in-call audio levels. It is recommended that you set the IsatPhone Pro to
maximum volume and use the docking station to reduce the volume if required.
You can raise and lower the volume of the docking station by pressing the UP/DOWN arrows.
Not in a call – Idle state : IsatDock Drive ONLY
When in the idle state, pressing the up/down buttons will adjust the incoming call ring volume
In call
When in a call pressing the up/down buttons will adjust the call volume.

9. Configuring the Unit
The IsatDock can be configured by the IsatDock Management System. This is a Microsoft
Windows application that connects to the docking station via a USB cable. This application allows
users to configure settings such as:

Audio Gain’s (Drive)

Upgrade Firmware

Retrieve status – IMEI, Firmware Version, Serial Number, etc

Tracking (Drive)


10.1. FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of
more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by  could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment
“This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 6 dBi dB. Antennas having a gain greater than 6 dBi dB are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.”
"To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication"
All antenna cable used with these antenna must have a dB loss of 6.5dB or greater.
WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile
transmitting devices, a separation distance of 55 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of this device and
persons during device operation. To ensure compliance,
operations at closer than this distance is not recommended.
The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter
