MVP-WDS stations use a security latch to secure the panel to the docking station for MVP panels, and come in 2 faceplate colors; black (FG5965-11) and silver (FG5965-21). Die Cut Foam plastic covers (2) Security latch MVP-BP battery compartment Securing magnet support cradle alignment guide pin Interface Connector pins Security Release pushbutton (with 2 blue status LEDs) alignment guide pin FIG. 1 MVP-WDS Docking Station components Power USB (2) The faceplate must be removed prior to any installation of the WDS into a surface or CB-MVPWDS conduit box. The two Die Cut Foam covers are then placed over the two #6-32 faceplate security screws, post installation. The Security Release pushbutton raises the security latch for easy removal of the MVP panel. The securing magnet is used to keep the MVP panel from falling out of the cradle when the MVP is angled forward. A security code (password) can be enabled via the Protected Password page. This feature requires that the code must be entered on the panel before it can be removed from the docking station. One or two (optional) MVP-BP batteries can be recharged from either of the two rear compartments on the MVP-WDS (or from within the MVP panel). Attach a keyboard or mouse using the docking station's side USB ports. This connection facilitates surfing the Web via the G4 Computer Control application. Another key feature of the MVP-WDS is that it can be mounted into either a solid surface (using surface screws) or into an optional CB-MVPWDS conduit box (for pre-wall installation). These two installation options allow the MVP to be mounted into virtually any surface environment. Refer to the Installation section on page 4 for more information.
