•U-Bracket Mounting Kit
For more information on installing the smart dock and mounting kits,
see the CV41C Mounting Kit Reference Guide.
Connecting the CV41C to Power
For the CV41C to operate, you must attach it to the smart dock and
provide power to the CV41C through a DC/DC power supply or an
AC/DC power supply.
There are three power options for the CV41C. You must order one of
these power options separately:
•10-60 VDC Power Connection Kit
•72-144 VDC Power Connection Kit
•AC Power Supply
For more information on installing the DC power options, see the
CV41C Vehicle Mounting Kit Reference Guide.
Once you have connected the smart dock to power and attached the
CV41C to the smart dock, press the Power switch on the back of the
smart dock to supply power to the CV41C.
About the Internal UPS Battery
The CV41C contains an internal UPS battery that is automatically
charged when the CV41C is placed in a powered smart dock. The UPS
battery can power the CV41C for a minimum of 30 minutes at -20°C
(-4°F) or higher. The UPS battery allows you to continue using the
CV41C when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is
being changed.
If the UPS battery becomes critically low on power, the CV41C
performs a controlled shutdown. You can recharge it by placing the
CV41C back into the smart dock. You can fully charge a discharged
UPS battery in approximately 4 hours.
Maximizing the Internal UPS Battery Usage
You can maximize the internal UPS battery usage by changing the
battery power scheme.

If you are going to use the CV41C in extreme cold conditions for an
extended period of time, you should turn on the power at room
temperature for at least 15 minutes prior to using it. This process of
“warming up” helps preserve the lighting on the display.
The default screen appears on the display when you turn on the
CV41C. This screen appears unless you are running ITE. If you have
installed ITE, it launches after the initial booting process.

Installing an External Antenna
You can purchase an a WI-FI or GPS antenna to mount on a wall,
forklift, or other flat surface using either screws or small patches of
adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener material.
Since system performance and antenna polarization are
site-dependent, a permanent mounting location may require some
experimentation. In most fixed installations, you should mount the
antenna initially in a vertically-polarized position, with the cable from
the antenna parallel to the floor and ceiling. For information on
purchasing an antenna, contact your local Intermec sales
representative.
