These Mobile Computing Desks should never be used while driving. Any time the vehicle is in motion the pedestal mount should be stored by folding it down to the floor or completely removing the pedestal and storing it in a safe place.

Knowing the zone can make a big difference when installing any type of apparatus into a vehicle with a dual air bag deployment system. The airbag zone is approximate and flexible due to airbag deployment characteristics.

Always contact your vehicle manufacturer to determine the airbag deployment zone for your vehicle. Failure to keep your mobile desk and any other equipment out of this zone may result in serious injury or death. If you are unsure of the airbag safety zone, contact your vehicle manufacturer.

Much has been discussed, advertised and promoted regarding the compatibility between installation systems (mounting hardware) for mobile communications equipment and the "airbag deployment zones" in automobiles. Although many hardware manufacturers promote their products as being "airbag friendly" or "airbag compatible" the ultimate responsibility lies with the installer and/or end-user.

Any combination of installation hardware and mobile communication equipment that is not installed and positioned properly within the suggested dimensional parameters as defined by the vehicle manufacturer could potentially interfere with the deployment of the airbag(s). As a hardware distrubuter we can make suggestions and recommendations for the correct positioning and installation of our mounting systems. However, neither Rocktour.net or the manufacturer can control the ultimate placement and/or quality of the installation; nor can we control the type, size, style or placement of mobile communication equipment which the end-user chooses to mount onto, or with our products.

Manufacturers of public safety and law enforcement automobiles have provided, over the past few years, detailed information regarding the "airbag deployment zone(s)" in their specific vehicles. In printed material and via videotapes, car manufacturers have outlined and illustrated the area within each vehicle that is considered a safe zone for installing mobile communications equipment.

Note: Although airbag templates are available to assist in positioning equipment, they may not give you an exact image of the actual "deployment zone" of a rapidly inflating airbag. We strongly suggest you supplement the use of templates with the information provided by the vehicle manufacturer for a more accurate representation of available installation space.

WARNING

Do not install the mounting system or position the equipment in the deployment path of an airbag. In the event of airbag deployment, mounting systems and/or equipment located within the airbag deployment zones can damage the airbag, prevent proper airbag inflation and/or become projectiles which could potentially cause personal injury or death. To determine airbag deployment zones and the area recommended for equipment installation, refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual. The manufacturer makes no warranties except for intended use and will not be held liable or responsible for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential arising from the sale, use or misuse of the manufacturers products or the user's inability to use such products.

No equipment is to be installed within this zone!

The two diagrams above illustrate the safest positions for laptops in vehicles with dual airbags.

Never Use While Driving! Always remove the laptop and fold the pedestal to the floor in front of the passenger seat or remove entire pedestal and store in a safe place.

Rocktour.net, the manufacturer, it's officers or employees will accept no responsibility or liability for misuse or improper installation of our products or failure to keep product out of the airbag zone!
