INSTALLING AND MOUNTING THE GPS UNIT
The best location for a stealth installation is beneath the top of the dash behind,
above or next to the instrument cluster. The GPS and GSM antennas are
internally located within the GPS unit. The unit must be mounted with the label
facing the sky. The GPS antenna is located under this label. The GPS unit will
work best if it has a clear view of the sky and as much of the horizon as possible
with no metal between it and the sky. Any metallic objects between the GPS unit
and the satellites will degrade the signal and reduce the overall performance. Try
to keep the device at least 12 inches away from audio devices such as vehicle
radio and speakers.
WARNING The body of the car or any other metal structure can affect the
accuracy of the GPS signals and prevent normal operation. Location of the
GPS unit is critical to the operation.
The GPS unit can be installed in any type of vehicle. The unit should be mounted
so it will not be exposed to damage from people or objects. The GPS unit has tie
strap grips, use nylon tie straps to firmly mount the GPS unit.
CABLE INTERFACE
There is only one harness option for the NFT-4500. The main Harness is
separate from the relay harness to give install flexibility. Diagrams of the Cables
are shown below:
