2.3.2
PHYSICAL MOUNTING
a)
Start by running all the cables (DC power, CAT5 Ethernet and
optional PC RS-232
as well as all anten-
nas cabling) prior to mounting the GeminiG3 unit to assure the feasibility of the planned cable rout-
ing.
b)
Be sure to leave sufficient slack in each cable so the GeminiG3 unit may be removed from the mount-
ing bracket for servicing with the power applied and the antenna attached.
c)
GeminiG3 unit is ready for installation.
Cautions:
•
When drilling mounting holes, be careful to avoid damaging some vital part of the vehicle
such as fuel tanks, transmission housing etc. Always check how far the mounting screws ex-
tend below the mounting surface prior to installation.
