C. Mounting the Devices
Find a secure location underneath the dashboard to mount the GPS device. Do not mount
device under the hood of the vehicle or in the engine compartment. The heat from any of
these locations may cause product failure.
The device’s LEDs should be mounted facing the rear of the vehicle so that they are visible
for testing purposes. Use zip ties to mount the device to an existing wiring loom or other
available location.
Connect the GPS and GSM/Cellular antenna connectors to the device. Use a bead of torque
seal around the point of connection to ensure that any future signs of tampering are visible.
Connect the wiring harness plug to the device. The Ground/black wire should be on the far
left side of the device, matching the “ground” plug on the device’s front panel.
**Do not power up the device before connecting the GPS and GSM/Cellular
antennas first**
Doing so may result in product failure.
Find a location on the top center of the dash that DOES NOT BLOCK the vision of the driver to
the road. Safe placement of this device is important as improper placement can create an
unsafe blind spot for the vehicle operator (Please see Work Order for specified mounting
method).
If using the suction cup mount to the windshield, please clean the area of the windshield
with the alcohol wipe provided. Moisten suction cup then mount onto windshield.
If using dash mount with the double sided tape, please clean the area of the dash with the
alcohol wipe provided. Allow cleaned area to dry. Remove mounting tape film and mount
onto the dash.
Once mounted, connect the FMI cable to the Garmin Navigation Device.
