• Check your Honeywell model number (CT40, CT45, or CT47) before ordering.
• The RAM Powered Dock for Honeywell CT40/45/47 is the direct fit for these devices.

Can I use a RAM powered dock in a vehicle?

Yes. RAM powered docks are designed for both vehicle and fixed installation. The dock connects to a RAM mounting system, so you can attach it to a dash, console, or any RAM base. The powered connection keeps the handheld charged while you drive, which is essential for workers who use the device all day.

For vehicle use, make sure you have a RAM mount arm and base that match your vehicle. The dock itself does not include a mount arm or base. You'll need to choose the right combination for your setup. RAM Mounts offers a wide range of arms and bases, so you can build a custom solution.

• A RAM powered dock works in vehicles and fixed locations.
• You will need a separate RAM mount arm and base for vehicle installation.

What is the difference between a powered dock and a locking dock?

A powered dock charges the device and holds it in place, but it does not have a locking mechanism. A locking dock adds a physical lock that prevents someone from removing the device without a key or release. This is useful in public-facing or high-theft environments.

For Honeywell CT40 and CT45, the standard powered dock is not locking. If you need locking, consider the RAM Locking Powered Dock for Honeywell ScanPal EDA10A, but only if you use that device. For CT40/45, the powered dock is the recommended choice unless you have specific security requirements that demand a locking solution.

• Locking docks add theft prevention but are not available for all models.
• For CT40 and CT45, the powered dock is the standard choice.
