After the firmware is installed; install the VCD dipole antenna using ‘Installer Mode’. Proceed as follows:
ACTIVATE ‘INSTALLER MODE’
•
Connect the antenna to the antenna connector on the receiver.
•
Switch on the car’s ignition;
wait until the status LED of Blu Eye lights green.
•
Press and hold buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 5 seconds;
a beep sounds. The status LED fades
yellow.
Note! This setting runs through the menu for setting volume and brightness of the LEDs. This
menu is activated after pressing both buttons for 2 seconds. Press and hold both buttons until
‘Installer Mode’ is activated.
•
The LEDs on the display indicate the amount of interference picked up by the antenna. An acoustic signal
corresponds to the number of LEDs on the display. This facilitates the search for an interference-free location
for the antenna when the display is not visible.
LOCATION FOR THE ANTENNA
•
Determine the location for the antenna: on a corner of the front or rear bumper (see illustration 2):
•
Mounting in the front bumper gives the best reception to the front. Mounting in the rear bumper gives the
best reception to the rear.
•
Always mount the antenna vertically and with the red radial pointing upwards.
•
Preferably fix the antenna with duct tape to the outside of the chosen location first. Start the engine and
switch on all lights and accessories.
Due to reflections from signals in the workshop, it may be necessary to drive the car outside
to reliably perform this test.
•
LED lighting of the vehicle itself is a common source of interference. This is caused by the pulse-rendering
control of the LEDs. Preferably place the antenna as far away as possible from LED lights and lighting wiring.
•
When ‘Installer Mode’ indicates that the chosen location on the outside of the bumper is sufficiently
interference-free, move the antenna to the same location on the inside of the bumper.
•
If there is not enough space behind the bumper to mount the antenna completely vertically, mount the red
radial as vertically as possible and bend the black radial to a maximum of 45 degrees.
Never mount the antenna right next to (>5 cm) or on metal parts of the vehicle!
•
Check that the antenna has interference-free reception even at this location.
