Overview
The magnetic breakaway cable charges the BC-03 while mounted on a User in a vehicle. This cable safely detaches from the BC-03 should the operator need to quickly exit the vehicle. It also allows the operator to maintain the battery for a greater period of time than on the internal battery alone.
Watch the video below for how to attach the cable for charging:
Charging
Note:
Getac does NOT provide or warranty 12v cigarette lighter USB chargers. When looking to purchase, look for a charger that is UL rated and at least 2.4amps.
Caution:
- If the breakaway cable is plugged into a USB port on an MDT or infotainment system, e.g. Ford Sync or Dodge UConnect the BWC may enter storage mode and will NOT start a recording if the record button is pressed or an automatic trigger is initiated (e.g. Light bar).
- The magnetic breakaway cable cannot be used for data transfer, i.e. upload to Getac Enterprise. When used with the MDT App, the Ethernet connection is able to provide a view-only option to any Assets recorded and add additional Metadata or custom forms as desired.
