Choosing the correct position
First you need to choose the correct position in which to install your LINK 710.
Take the following into consideration:
▪
Do not expose the LINK 710 to direct sunlight and/or high temperature for long
periods to ensure proper operation.
▪
To ensure GPS reception using the integrated GPS receiver, the top of the device
must not be obstructed by metal items. For more flexibility with regards to
installation we recommend using the external GPS antenna from Webfleet
Solutions.
▪
To ensure GSM/GPRS reception using the integrated GSM/GPRS antenna, the
device must not be placed on or surrounded by metal items such as the vehicle’s
coachwork closer than 5 cm (2 inches) and the top side must not be obstructed by
metal items.
1. Top side of the device must not be obstructed by metal items.
2. Keep minimum distance of 5 cm (2 inches) to metal items.
The device must be positioned with the top side pointing to the sky.
The device must be positioned so that it is unobstructed by metal objects.
The device must not interfere with clear vision for the driver.
Tinted metallised windscreens or those with integrated filament heating may block
GPS reception.
Place the unit a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches) distance to the coachwork or other
metal items, so that optimal mobile network transmission and GPS reception is
ensured.
The unit must be placed on an oil free, dry and clean surface, when using the
adhesive strips. Extreme temperature changes/differences can affect the adhesive
property of the strips.
The device must not be placed inside ventilation ducts.
The device and its cable must not block or impede vent controls, in the case the
device is mounted near ventilation ducts.
