3. Determine Display Location:
Normally, the dis-
play is located above and behind the center of the
steering wheel just below the driver's line of sight.
The easiest installation is on the front glass of the cab.
If that's not possible, it can vacuum mount to any non
porous (metal) surface or the vacuum mount can be
removed and the bracket mounted with bolts.
4. Mount Display Unit:
THOROUGHLY clean the
inside cab window surface directly in front of the
steering wheel. Remove the red cover of the vacuum
mount, press it to the window and pump the button
located on the vacuum mount. Pump until the red line
is no longer visible on the button. (Check it periodi-
cally. If the red line becomes visible, you may have to
pump it a little to maintain suction). Adjust the display
for proper viewing angle.
NOTE:
Do not leave console unattended for
extended periods of time. If possible, remove the
unit from glass when not in use. Continued expo-
sure to the elements (such as direct sunlight), can
be harmful to the suction cup.

5. Route Antenna Cable:
Securely attach one end of
the cable to the antenna. Route the cable to a cab
opening where rubber protection exists to protect the
cable. (A closed window works fine.) Do not bend
the cable to a radius of less than 6 inches. Avoid rout-
ing it within 12 inches of radio wires, power generator
wires, heat source or moving parts. Attach the other
end of the cable to the display unit. Coil excess cable
in a protected location and secure the installation with
tie straps.
6. Install Power Cable:
Connect the power cable to
the display unit at the CAN port. Twist connector
firmly until it snaps into place. For permanent installa-
tions, we recommend removal of the cigarette lighter
plug and hard-wiring the leads to a reliable 12 volt
power supply. Use a 5-amp inline fuse on the red lead
to protect the console and wiring. Red goes to positive
and black to negative. Coil excess cable in a protected
location and secure the installation with tie straps.
NOTE:
Cigarette lighter sockets are
notorious
for
intermittent power. For permanent installation, we rec-
ommend wiring directly to the battery, using a 5-amp
inline fuse.

Use tie strap through
mounting hole to
relieve cable strain.
