Installing Hands Free Interface Unit (HFI)
In many vehicles, the best location for these units is on the floor or the rear vertical
panel of the trunk compartment. Alternate locations include under the dashboard,
under the front or rear seat, or under the rear speaker deck panel.
Caution:
Always use the supplied mounting hardware for mounting the
units. If not mounted properly, the transceiver may shift when the vehicle is
moving, which can interfere with proper operation of the vehicle.
Performance of electronically controlled brake and/or guidance systems can, under
certain unique conditions, be subject to interference by mobile radio operation.
Although the transceiver exceeds all requirements regarding radio frequency
emissions, you should mount the transceiver as far as possible from the guidance
system and/or braking modulator box (usually located in the trunk) to minimize any
interference.
The best location for mounting the HFI Adapter Box is under the dashboard or front
seat within reaching distance of the 9505A handset when in the SatDOCK.
To install the box, follow these steps:
1. Using the Hands Free Interface as a template, mark the hole locations.
2. Remove the bracket, and use an awl or similar device to start the holes at
the marked locations.
3. Drill the holes & mount using the six screws provided with the fuse kit.
Using the Connector Plugs
The connector plugs can be removed from the Hands Free Interface for easy wiring
and then connected once completed.
The screw connector enables the cables to be securely fastened. Ensure that no
wires are exposed once the screw is fastened to avoid blowing a fuse.
The cables should only be connected as specified according to the below diagram.
The external ring alert and the Mute connector are for optional wiring. Refer to the
earlier section for details.
