it may fall off the windscreen while driving and cause an accident. Periodically inspect this product.
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure
to install this product, its cables, and wiring away in such so that they will not obstruct or hinder driving.

moving parts, especially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any
of the vehicle’s controls.
• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the insulation heats up, wires
may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunction and permanent damage to the
product.
• Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may
fail to work properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply cable of
this product and tapping into the cable. The current capacity of the cable will be exceeded, causing
overheating.
