INSTALLATION IN THE CAR

A.

GPS ANTENNA

GPS signals are received through the external GPS antenna. It is important to choose the best
location for it, so that the GPS signal is received loud and clear. The following elements should be
taken into consideration:

The antenna is to be placed at least 50 cm away from the QUINTEZZ.

The antenna is to be placed at the outside of the car for optimal reception. With diverse
cars with metal film – glass, a proper reception inside the car is impossible.

The antenna is to be placed on a metal part, so as to be able to use the incorporated magnet.

Once the antenna is placed, the power socket of the antenna cable is to be plugged into
the ANT port.

OBSERVATION: The antenna may still move, as a result of many causes, such as blown off branches,
parking along bushes etc. As these things cannot be controlled, any guarantee on the car is out of
the question.

B.

QUINTEZZ

The QUINTEZZ is especially designed for use in the car and does not necessarily need to be placed
directly behind the windscreen (like with a radar detector or a hand-held GPS). GPS signals are
received through the external antenna.
The information display of the QUINTEZZ is to be clearly visible to the driver.

There are 2 possibilities to install the QUINTEZZ:
1. Velcro strips
When using velcro strips for mounting, the surfaces of the QUINTEZZ and the dashboard must fit to
one another and be clean (greaseproof).
2. Mounting clamp
The supplied mounting clamp can be used for window mounting (by means of the supplied suction
pads) or for screwing (screws and other fastening material is not supplied) onto the dashboard.
After fastening, the mounting clamp is to be secured by means of the securing button at the bottom
of the QUINTEZZ.

C.

POWER SUPPLY

The QUINTEZZ is designed to be connected to the normal electric circuit (12 Volts) of the car, which
has a negative earthing. See the manual of your car, if your are not sure about the polarity.
After installation of the GPS antenna and the QUINTEZZ, the power cable is to be plugged  into the
POWER port.
Then you remove the cigarette lighter and insert the cigarette plug into this contact.

OPERATION OF THE QUINTEZZ IN THE CAR

A.

AUTOMATIC TEST

After being switched on, the QUINTEZZ will perform an automatic self test. If you hear the audiotext
‘QUINTEZZ Self Test OK’, the test has been properly performed. If the audiotext has been switched
off, the above statement will not be heard.

B.

LOOKING FOR SATELLITES

Once the automatic test has been performed, the QUINTEZZ will try to contact the GPS satellites.
The display will show either 3 minuses or will indicate the status by means of the letter A followed by
the number of satellites with which connections have been realized.
As soon as a connection has been established with at least 4 satellites, the QUINTEZZ is able to
execute a reliable positioning, and all functions of the QUINTEZZ are available.
The QUINTEZZ will keep connected with 4 to 12 satellites. If the connection is shortly cut (for example
when passing through flyunders and tunnels) the speed indicator will show an incorrect value for a
short while.
