The MVP-TDS recharges the panel's batteries while maintaining continuous control of integrated technology (FIG. 1). The MVP-TDS utilizes an locking mechanism that allows you to adjust the vertical viewing angle, and uses an electromagnet to secure the panel. The Security Release pushbutton releases the MVP panel from the TDS. Electromagnet support cradle alignment guide pins interface connector pins Battery Status LED Communication LED Security Release pushbutton FIG. 1 MVP-TDS Docking Station components One or two MVP-BP batteries can be recharged from either of the two rear compartments on the MVP-TDS (or from within a docked MVP panel). Attach a keyboard or mouse using the docking station's rear USB ports. This connection facilitates surfing the Web via the G4 Computer Control application. A password can be enabled via the Protected Password page. This feature requires that the code must be entered on the panel (via the on-screen security/Password keypad) before it can be removed from the docking station.
