wire power to the FleetHawk device. Improper installation of electrical components and any resulting damage may impact your vehicle war-
ranty. SkyTel will not be responsible or liable for any damage, injury or other loss suffered as a result of installations covered by these instructions. n Using pull ties, fastener screws, or Velcro, install or store the FleetHawk device inside the vehicle passenger cab or trunk. Do not install or store the device inside the en-
gine compartment. n Exposure to excessive moisture or extreme heat can damage the FleetHawk device. The optimum operating temperature range for the device is -10 to 160 F. n All excess wiring should be neatly coiled and stored so that it is not crimped or rub-
bing against other parts of the vehicle or interfering with use of the vehicle. n Any unused wires should be properly taped or capped so that they do not come into contact with one another or with other ve-
hicular electrical sources. Power Sources for the FleetHawk Device 1 Constant Power: Locate a suitable 12- or 24-volt constant power source on the vehicles fuse block. Acceptable sources for power are: The vehicles battery; the fuse block; or wiring under the dash of the vehicle l The installation hardware kit shipped with your device includes an in line fuse holder that must be used to feed power to the device. A 3-amp fuse is also in-
cluded but do not install the fuse until everything else has been installed, the cable is connected to the device, and you are ready to use the device. Installing the fuse should be your last step in completing the installation. l If you choose to get power from the fuse block on your vehicle, you can use a fuse tap and a female quick discon-
nect. The fuse tap must be installed on the hot side of the fuse. To find the hot INSTALLATION GUIDE Customer Support email: skytel-fleethawk@mci.com phone: 888-759-6818 8002028 1/05 Welcome It is very important that you familiarize your-
self with these installation instructions be-
fore attempting to install your device. Basic knowledge of automotive electrical systems and functional components are needed in order to successfully install your FleetHawk device. If you are not a qualified automotive electrical technician or do not feel comfortable performing this installation, we strongly recommend that you work with a trusted automotive professional in your area to install FleetHawk according to your needs. The instructions provided are only a guide and do not necessarily apply to your particular vehicle.

(2) Female Quick Disconnects side of the fuse, remove the existing fuse from the fuse block and use a test light to probe the fuse socket. The side that lights the test probe is the hot side of the fuse where you should insert the fuse tap. l If you choose to get power directly from the battery or another wire on the ve-
hicle be sure to use a suitable connector or splice method (such as soldering) to ensure a permanent connection. The device will not work without power. 2 Ground: Locate a suitable area to ground the device that is free from dirt and grease. Fasten the black wire from the cable to the ground source. Be sure the ground wire is securely fastened to the ground source. 3 Key On: Locate a key on power source using a test light. Connect the white wire marked with the number 1 (one) to the key on power source. In most vehicles, there will be a number of sources for Constant Power, Ground, and Key On located under the dash. It is up to the installer to choose the best sources for their particular vehicle. It is impossible to cover wiring scenarios for all makes and models of vehicles in this installa-
tion guide. If you have questions please contact a trusted automotive electrical professional to assist in the installation. Mounting the Antenna Depending on the type of antenna provided, locate a suitable place on your vehicle for the antenna to be installed. For optimal performance, both antennas should be mounted on the outside of the vehicle, on the windshield, roof, hood, or trunk. While you can mount the antennas elsewhere, performance may suffer as a result. n For the GPS/RF combination antenna, see the instruction sheet provided by the an-
tenna manufacturer. n The GPS antenna will need an unobstructed sky view. n The RF antenna can be mounted in the inte-
rior of the vehicle, if necessary. Make sure there is sufficient cabling to reach from the point of the antenna mount back to the where you have installed the FleetHawk device. Conceal any excess cable under the car-
pet, trim, or dash where it will not be exposed to wear. Be careful not to crimp or kink the cable as this may damage the antenna or reduce its effectiveness. 2005 SkyTel Corp.
