Geotab GO8 Installation Guide
Installation in Four Steps
Based on the warnings above, if you determine that a professional installation by an Authorized Installer is not required, the following basic installation steps can be followed.
Locate the vehicle’s engine diagnostic port typically found in the driver’s area at or below knee level. Note: heavy-duty vehicles use a different connector system. Contact your Authorized Reseller for heavy-duty connector applications or for extension harnesses should it be necessary to place your device away from the engine diagnostic port location. | Align the receiver end of the device with the engine diagnostic port and simply push in place, ensuring that the device is well connected to the diagnostic port. You will hear 6 quick beeps and all three lights on the device will flash briefly. | With the vehicle parked outdoors to locate satellites and vent exhaust fumes, start the vehicle and allow it to run for approximately 3 minutes. During this time period you will notice the Red LED will power on and illuminate on the face of the device. Shortly afterwards the Green and Blue LEDs will illuminate when the device connects with the cellular and GPS networks. This initial startup may take several minutes to complete. | Once all three LED lights have come on, secure your device using the supplied cable tie. |
WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including gas, brake and clutch pedals. This requires the use of a cable tie when securing the device or any extension harness to the OBD connector, securing both sides of the harness. If you do not use a cable tie, vibration in the vehicle can lead to a loose connection which could indirectly cause the vehicle’s engine computer to fail, loss of vehicle control and cause serious injury. Inspect devices and cabling regularly to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached.
WARNING! If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control and serious injury.
