8.3 Notes on the Installation
• It can be installed in any position.
• Observe that there is enough space for cables when choosing the installation position.
Strongly bent cables (particularly right behind the plug) increase the risk of cable breaks and
may cause contact problems in the plug. The PCB is under a strong mechanical strain due
to this.
• To warrant the device function, choose a mounting site where the GMS network reception
is as good as possible.
• The application site should be protected against overheating of the device, excessive
moisture and dust.
• The product should be taken to a site where vehicle vibration can be measured.
• The product must not be subject to continuous strong vibrations (vibrating machines, direct
motor/chassis contact, etc.).
• The product is not protected against weather and therefore must be installed inside the
vehicle.
• Observe that the SIM card holder position was placed close to the casing holder on purpose.
You may use a corresponding screw to secure the SIM card against impermissible removal.
Replacing the battery:
If the battery must be replaced, observe the following instructions:
1. All removal cable connections must be removed from the device; separate it from the
power supply under all circumstances
2. Remove the SIM card.
3. Loosen the 4 screws on the product bottom; turn it out.
4. Now the casing may be used carefully; do not apply any force!
Observe the GPS receiver! It may be necessary to loosen the screws at the GPS
cables for relief.
5. The battery is connected to the main PCB via a plug secured against polarity reversal;
carefully disconnect the battery.
