1. Internal battery INSTALLATION GUIDE 5 2.2. Recommendation for both type:
Move the switch inwards (I) to activate the internal battery. The switching ON of the internal battery requires a running system. This is about 10 seconds after ignition (the led 4 must be lit then unlit). Move the switch outwards (O) to deactivate the internal battery. The switching OFF of the internal battery is instant. Thus, don't switch off the internal battery if the device is running without be connected to an external battery. The SIM card PIN code must be deactivated. INSTALLATION GUIDE 6 3. Preparing/installing the device 3.1. Connect the GPS external antenna 3.2. Choose the appropriate location for mounting The ideal location for mounting the device is under the dashboard. However, some types of coated windshields, as well as windshields with an in-screen heating system can block GPS signals. External antenna should never be covered by any kind of object or material, especially not by metal or aluminium. Transmission and reception of GPS signal is however not hindered by plastic or normal glass. Moreover, put at least 20 cm between the antenna and a speaker. INSTALLATION GUIDE 10 3.3.

In the first case, it is an absolute must that a fuse on the main cable is present. Ignition wire must always be connected to the vehicles ignition OR tied with the permanent positive to the vehicles battery. Ground must be always connected first. It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to the permanent positive. The closer to the connection point with vehicle power. INSTALLATION GUIDE 13 3.5. Plug the device to the external battery The device must have a direct connection with the main power (external battery). Mobile Devices advise against the use of intermediate system. 1. Check that all the inputs implied in the wake-up reasons configured on your device are not connected. 2. Plug the device (black wire) to the ground of the external battery. 3. Plug the device (red wire) to the permanent positive of the external battery. 4. Plug the device (white wire) to the ignition (after contact). In some case, the use of a circuit breaker can let the ignition (after contact) active. Thus, the device will be ON indefinitely. So, its important to find a signal where the ignition can be ON or OFF. Moreover, it is imperative to insulate the GPS antenna in order to avoid it get in touch with the cars chassis. The device should be always plugged to :
The ground of the external battery. A ground point defined by the vehicle manufacturer (if different from the ground of the external battery). A circuit breaker should never be enabled as long as:
Ignition is active. Ignition goes OFF since less than 2 minutes. This is the time for the device to do a proper shutdown. It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to the permanent positive. The closer to the connection point with vehicle power. 4. Inputs activation threshold Here are inputs activation thresholds (voltage). Ignition (active high) is active if voltage greater than 3V (disabled if smaller than 1V) Alarm (active low) is active if voltage is below 1V (disabled if greater than 3V) Digital Input1 (active low) is active if voltage is below 0.5V (disabled if greater than 3V) Note: Range voltage on inputs is 0-30V 5. Ouputs information The two Outputs are active low and they can deliver up to 300mA. Note: Outputs have a pull-up resistance of 10Kohms INSTALLATION GUIDE 14 6.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
in accordance with the
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. INSTALLATION GUIDE 15 9. RF Exposure Information This device meets the governments requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
