Step 1 : Attach Cradle to Vehicle Mounted Device
Prerequisite: The vehicle must have a bracket mounting device pre-installed and
ready to accept the MX6 cradle.
1. There must be at least 2” clearance at the bottom of the vehicle cradle for the cables. Position
the bracket to allow access to the ports on the bottom of the Vehicle Mount Cradle.
2. Mount the cradle backplate bracket to the vehicle bracket using four (4) ¼-28 x 1/2” Long
PanHead screws, with lock washer and nut (not supplied by LXE).
How To : Suggested Mounting
1. Fasten base with ball to Cradle Back Bracket.
2. Attach base with ball where item is to be mounted on vehicle.
3. Place arm on ball on vehicle by loosening the turnscrew on the arm, then placing the socket
over the vehicle mount, then the cradle mount.
4. Tighten the knob on the arm until the cradle is secured to the vehicle.
Periodically test the mounting device and retighten bolts and/or knob as needed.
Step 2 : Connect Power Supply
1. Connect to MX6 Cradle Power port.
2. Connect to Vehicle’s cockpit power supply (cigarette lighter).
3. Power On LED illuminates when the cigarette lighter adapter is seated properly in the
cigarette lighter receptacle.
4. To relieve possible strain on the cradle power connector, provide mechanical support for the
power cable by securing it to the vchicle structure or mounting bracket no more than six
inches from the cradle power connector, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors
or penetrate the outer cable jacket. Ensure that there is some slack in the cable between the
connector and mechanical support to prevent pressure from being applied to the power
connector.
