'''DEVICE FASTENING'''
'''CONNECTING WIRES'''


• 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 />


'''CONNECTING POWER SOURCE'''
'''CONNECTING POWER SOURCE'''


• 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 />


'''CONNECTING GROUND WIRE'''
'''CONNECTING GROUND WIRE'''


• 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 />
 
• Device ground wire is designed to be directly connected to the negative terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.
