Caution The USB cable is connected to the dock at the factory and is secured with a
cable tie. DO NOT remove this cable tie or unplug the USB cable from the dock. The
cable tie helps ensure a secure connection and should never be disconnected. The
cable tie also ensures that the correct COM port is used for GPS communications with
the Mobile Interface software. Using a different USB port will prevent the MC3 radio
from communicating properly with the software.

Connecting the GoBook XR-1 to the MC3
The MC3 rides in a harness that attaches to bucket- or bench-style passenger seats. The
sled for the GoBook XR-1 is equipped with a dock for the computer and a junction box
for power connectors (the junction box must be attached to the sled prior to use). The sled
should be mounted on the seat before the MC3 radio is attached. The MC3 must be
mounted high enough on the seat so that the right side ports on the GoBook are
accessible, as shown in the example below.
