The 7535 G2 Picker Cradle
Psion Teklogix 7535 G2 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 193
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Al-
though the 7535 G2 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system
will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios
operate in the 7535 G2 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously—this has a
negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone
802.11 network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low
transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).
Bluetooth peripherals are configured by choosing the Bluetooth icon in the Control Panel.
Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 126 for information about setting up your Bluetooth
devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth
device to determine the method used to associate with the 7535 G2 host.
6.11 The 7535 G2 Picker Cradle
The 7535 G2 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides
quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the 7535 G2 securely even when operated in
high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped with suspensions). The7535 G2
base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options: a power module and a port replicator.
Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held picker cradles,
and the 7535 G2 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.
6.11.1 Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal
operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking
joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle,
and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
Warning: Before mounting a picker cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator
safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle
may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibil-
ity obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the
operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional
mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, espe-
cially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If
you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Psion Teklogix for assist-
ance. Note also that for better protection, the equipment should be mounted
inside the vehicle roll cage.
