The battery must be disconnected from the vehicle before

working on the electrical system of the vehicle when

installing, servicing or removing Gatekeeper products.

Preparing to Install



Customers shall be responsible for addressing any systems on the bus that require

attention as a result of disconnecting the bus battery. This includes, but is not limited

to, entering a radio theft code, programming radio stations etc.

Installing the product



All Gatekeeper Systems employees or contractors who perform electrical work (e.g.

installing, servicing or removing a G4-304SD1a, installing a backup camera system,

etc.) on a customer vehicle shall ensure that the battery in the vehicle is disconnected

before work commences.

Operating the product



The G4-304SD1a has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C. It is good

practice to ensure that the product is mounted in a suitable location which does not

exceed acceptable temperature ranges during the course of normal operations.



Do not remove the cover of the product as this will void the warranty.



When a system has shipped with a GPS antenna, please ensure that the GPS antenna

is mounted externally on the roof of the bus with a clear view of the sky, and with the

magnetic side facing down.



The SD Card is specially formatted for use in your G4-304SD1a. Please do not format

it yourself using Microsoft Windows. A SD card from a G4-304SD is not compatible

with the G4-304SD1a and so would require to be formatted in the G4-304SD1a prior

to use.

Prior to removing the SD card for viewing video on a pc, it is essential that the G4-

304SD1a be fully powered down before removal of the SD card. Failure to do this will

result in data corruption and thereby loss of video.

Updating the product



Firmware updates (available from

www.gatekeeper-systems.com

) are system and

product model specific. These firmware updates must be applied to the G4-304SD1a

system only.

Repairing the product



Your G4-304SD1a doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or

disassemble it, or attempt to repair it or replace any components.



Disassembling the G4-304SD1a may damage it or may cause injury to you. If your

product needs service, is damaged, or malfunctions, contact Gatekeeper Systems for

assistance. If you attempt to open it, you risk damaging your product, and such

damage isn’t covered by the warranty on your G4-304SD1a.

If at any time there is a question about how to proceed, please contact Gatekeeper Systems

immediately at either 1-888-666-4833 or 1-604-864-6187 for assistance. Review all available
