4.2.1 V 12 Docking
NOTE: When the V 12 is attached to the V Dock and operating on batteries, it 
does not communicate with the central station. 
1. Hold the V 12 by the side grips, or top handle, and vertically lower it onto the top of the V Dock, 
so that the alignment pins on the bottom of the V 12 engage with the alignment channel on 
the top of the V Dock. 
2. Push the V 12 backward onto the V Dock (shown in FIGURE 4-1), until the front latching bar 
moves upward, with a corresponding audible click.

1. Reposition your hands so that your thumbs or palms press against the front surface of the V 12, 
near the lower corners, and other fingers grip around the protrusions on the side of the V Dock.
2. Squeeze your grip so that the V 12 moves backward onto the V Dock (shown in FIGURE 4-2), 
until the front latching bar moves upward, with a corresponding audible click.
