• When mounting peripheral devices, follow the manufacturer's instructions. This is particularly impor-
tant when welding or drilling supporting parts.
• To avoid any accidents, make sure your field of vision is not restricted in any way when mounting
peripheral devices. Observe all accident prevention regulations.
7.3.5 Mobile Application on Vehicles
• Observe correct voltage ranges.
• Ensure that supply lines are fused correctly.
• Lay the supply cable so that it will not get crushed or frayed.
• Read the labeling on the cable and connect the supply cable with the correct polarity.
• Cut the supply cable as short as possible. This avoids tangled cables and improves the quality of the
power supply.
• Observe the vehicle manufacturer's instructions for connecting additional loads, for instance, in con-
junction with an emergency shut-off switch.
• Be sure that the connection of the line is as directly as possible to the battery and not to power supply
lines with a great deal of interference (e.g. the engine power supply) or otherwise affected by
consumers.
• Connect the supply cable to a suitable place. Ensure that the connecting cable has an adequate cross
section and ampacity at the connection point.
7.3.6 Using the Touchscreen
• Keep the panel surface clean.
• Prevent any kind of adhesive applied on the surface.

objects are prohibited.
