VC8300 Mounting Accessories
WARNING: Failure to install the mount correctly, or modifications to the mount, may result in serious injury or damage to
property. Contact Zebra Technical Support or your Zebra representative if you have problems installing this mount. To
ensure operator safety, you must use a calibrated torque wrench and the supplied mounting hardware when fastening the
computer and mount. Use of this mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is prohibited. Contact Zebra for
further details.
Before mounting a VC8300 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. When
mounting a VC8300 use only approved Zebra mounting hardware and mounting parts which are specific to the VC8300
model purchased. An improperly mounted VC8300 or use of non-approved parts may result in one or more of the following:
operator injury, property damage, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction, and/or poor ease of egress for the
operator. Zebra strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
If it is necessary to mount the VC8300 overhead, or in any position that could cause injury to the operator should the unit
fall, it is critical that a secondary tether or other fail safe device be installed.
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:
• Do not use the mount and/or the VC8300 as a hand-held. Using the mount in this manner may cause the
person to fall or dislodge the mounting hardware and/or mounts.
• Do not add weight or attach any other items to the mount or VC8300. Additional elements may fall causing
injury, or may increase the chance of failure and/or damage in mounting hardware and/or mounts.
• Mounts used in industrial or vibration generating environments may be subjected to fatigue, stress, and/or
part wear. A periodic inspection of the mounting hardware and mounts should be performed to ensure parts
are retightened to the correct torque, free of fractures, excessive wear, and/or other environmental
damage. Any parts found to be unsafe should be removed and replaced immediately. After inspection or
replacement of parts, readjust the mount as outlined in the pertinent sections below.
• Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately connected
scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice, contact Zebra for
assistance. For better protection, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
• When charging the vehicle battery, the VC8300 must be either disconnected from the battery or it must be
determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of the VC8300 is not exceeded.
