This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the MX3
and isolates the computer from shock and vibration. The MX3 is inserted into the cradle by
placing the base of the unit in the pocket and then firmly pressing the unit backwards until the
release mechanisms latch and hold the unit in the cradle. The MX3 is removed from the cradle by
pressing the release mechanisms and pulling the MX3 up and away from the cradle.
