Introduction
The Motorola VC6000 series is a rugged vehicle or fixed-mount
computer. It is specifically designed for the harsh conditions of the mobile
environment areas.
The VC6000 also serves as a stationary indoor host computer for
communication and control of outdoor VC6000 seriess.
The computer enables real-time data access, collection, capture and
report of information related to the driver’s workflow, status and location.
The fixed-mount computer consists of a touch-screen with an integrated
QWERTY keyboard. Data can be entered using the touch-screen or
keyboard.
The computer has multiple communication capabilities that include:
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Wide Area Network
(WWAN), BluetoothTM and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.
Bluetooth technology is used for cordless connection of peripheral
devices such as printers, bar code scanners, handsfree speakers and
headsets to the computer. Cellular and WiFi radios are used to exchange
voice and data with wide and local area networks. Among its many
communication interfaces, the computer contains an internal GPS
module, ensuring reliable and accurate vehicle location.
The VC6000 Vehicle Computer series is designed only for industry and
commercial use. In indoor applications, the VC6000 can serve as a fixed-
mount office computer for communication and data collection.
The VC6000 is not designed to operate as portable lap-top computer.
The computer, antenna(s) and other accessories of the VC6000 require
a professional installation performed by trained and licensed personnel.
For proper installation requirements, contact your professional installer,
VAR, or antenna manufacturer.

Mounting the VC6000 series
Guidelines for Routing Cables
• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or hot
  surfaces.
• Fix the cable to an existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable
  ties.
• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable cable guard.
• When fixing a conduit or a cable on the outside of a vehicle, use
  P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the
  clip.
• Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum recom-
  mended radius is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches).
• Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often
  requires using cable ties approximately every one foot, and ensuring
  the cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the
  VC6000 series.
• If you must re-position the VC6000 series occasionally, ensure there is
   enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without putting
   tension on the cable.
• Take the power from as close to the battery terminals as possible, and
  avoid using existing wiring.
• Ensure that all fuses are as close as possible to the power source.
• Use plastic cable ties to
  secure the cables to
  the cable tie bracket of
  the VC6000.

bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device
without removing your eyes from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to
sound or lights to flash, on receipt of a call on public roads, is not
permitted.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do”
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give full attention
to driving. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1.   Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed
     dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call
     without taking your attention off the road.
2.   When available, use a hands free device.
3.   Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if neces-
     sary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather condi-
     tions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be
     hazardous.


24                                      VC6000 Series Vehicle Computers

4.   Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
     are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when
     your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving,
     dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then con-
     tinue.
5.   Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
     distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
     and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your
     attention from the road.
6.   Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency ser-
     vices, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emer-
     gency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
     emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!.
     The call can be made regardless of any security codes and depend-
     ing on a network, with or without a SIM card inserted.
7.   Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see
     an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency
     where lives are in danger, call the Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in the
     US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number, as you
     would want others to do for you.
8.   Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assis-
     tance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle
     posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic acci-
     dent where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be sto-
     len, call roadside assistance or other special nonemergency
     wireless number. “The wireless industry reminds you to use your
     device / phone safely when driving.”
