WARNING! Some installations are not straightforward and must be completed by an Authorized Installer to ensure a secure installation. An unsecured device installation can cause poor electric and/or data connections that can lead to short circuits and fires or cause malfunctions of vehicle controls that can result in serious personal injury or significant damage to your vehicle. Some examples requiring professional installation from an Authorized Installer are:
WARNING! Do not attempt to install, reconfigure or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles that are securely parked. Attempting to service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.
For the instructions included with the device, please visit goo.gl/QnadCU.
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 trucks often use a different Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC). Contact your Authorized Reseller to learn about DLC applications for heavy-duty trucks, or how to use a vehicle-specific harness if available. | Align the receiver end of the device with the engine diagnostic port and push in place. Please ensure the device is well connected to the diagnostic port. Once connected, the device emits 6 quick beeps. Ensure there is always a 20cm separation between the driver and the device. | Once the device is connected and receives power, the LEDs on the front of the device start blinking then turn solid once completing the actions below. Red LED — Device configuration Green LED — Cellular network connectivity Blue LED — GPS network connectivity Note: The device should be in good cellular coverage during the installation process. | The device emits two quick beeps every 60 seconds during set-up. Initial startup may take several minutes to complete. Once all three LEDs turn solid and you hear 10 quick beeps, secure the device using the provided cable tie. Note: The device starts updating when the green and blue LEDs turn solid. |
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.
