| | | |
− | • Locate the battery in your vehicle. If present remove the battery cover to access the battery.
| + | * Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from the wires.<br /> |
− | | + | * There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, the isolation material should be applied.<br /> |
− | • There is a double sided tape on the back of the device, use it to attach the device on the battery, so that the GNSS antenna
| + | * If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be <br />applied and the wires should not be loose.<br /> |
− | and LEDs indicators are facing up.
| + | * Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.<br /> |

− | • Device power wire is designed to be directly connected to the positive terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.
| + | * Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.<br /> |
| + | * When module is connected, measure voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.<br /> |
| + | * It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.<br /> |
| + | * 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.<br /> |

− | • Connect ground wire to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
| + | * Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.<br /> |
− | | + | * If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.<br /> |
− | • If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
| + | * For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.<br /> |
