This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the MX3-
CE and isolates the computer from shock and vibration. The MX3-CE is inserted into the cradle by

release mechanisms latch and hold the unit in the cradle. The MX3-CE is removed from the cradle
by pressing the release mechanisms and pulling the MX3-CE up and away from the cradle.
