5. Position and Mounting
Step 1:
Start by assembling the monitor on the holder of the base plate and
holding it in different positions in your car and choose the most conve-
nient position for the system.
The telematic module is operated using a touch screen. For this reason
it should be positioned so that the driver is able to reach it easily with
their hand. Pay particular attention to the lengths of the cables, espe-
cially in commercial vehicles. Please remember that the cable will be
installed invisibly which means additional length may be necessary.
When you have found the suitable position for the monitor in the vehi-
cle, you can now attach / fix the mounting block in place as is appro-
priate. In the mean time, detach the telematic unit from the holder
again.
Important:
When placing the monitor make sure it doesn’t obstruct
X
your sight while driving. Please also make sure you install
the system well outside all passenger impact areas in the
passenger compartment and also outside the expansion
areas of any airbags in your car. Install it in place where
you can easily detach it from the holder.
The telematic unit is equipped with an integrated GPS an-
X
tenna. However, please note that heat insulation glass with
vapour deposited metal layer blocks signals from outside to
inside and vice versa. Please check if the system receives
GPS signals inside your car before mounting / attaching the
base plate. Activate the telematic unit inside your car. If
after 5 minutes the name of the street and city of your
current position are not displayed on the screen saver this
means the GPS signal received inside the car is not strong
enough.
