Wherever you install your equipment, follow these guidelines:
The units must be protected from dirt and moisture.
•
Ensure that each mounting surface is strong enough to support
•
the component being mounted to prevent the component from
loosening over time.
Leave space around the units to allow for cooling.
•
Select an area to mount components that do not interfere with
•
driver or passenger seating or leg space.
Ensure that wires or cables are hidden away from the driver or
•
passenger and do not interfere with seating or leg space.
Mount all components securely to prevent shifting that could
•
cause injury or could interfere with safe vehicle operation.
Always use the supplied mounting hardware.
The units can be easily removed.
•
The location allows for adequate clearances for cables
•
Only qualified personnel should install communication equipment.
•
If necessary, contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag
information specific to the vehicle.
Routing Cables
If your vehicle is equipped with wiring troughs in the doorsills,
use them to simplify cable installation and to provide maximum
protection for the cables.
If wiring troughs are not available, route cables according to these
guidelines:
Route cables so they are protected from pinching, sharp edges,
•
and crushing
Where possible, avoid routing cables above the catalytic
•
converter
Use grommets wherever a cable must pass through a hole in a
•
metal panel
In a vehicle equipped with electronically controlled anti-skid
•
brakes, route all cables on the opposite side of the vehicle from
the braking modulator box to minimize possible interference from
the phone.
Keep all in-line connectors accessible.
•
The suggested path for routing cables in vehicles without wiring
•
troughs is alongside the drive shaft hump, under the carpet.
Installation
Guidelines
CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including communication equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
