Installing 8 Series
8 Series comes with a windscreen bracket so that the unit can be mounted onto your vehicles windscreen.
When installing 8 Series please ensure that:
●
●
The unit, with its built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky*
●
●
It is located in a position where you can easily view the LCD display without having to take your eyes too far from the road ahead
and that you can reach the controls safely.
●
●
Does not interfere with the vehicles controls
●
●
Does not jeopardise the drivers or passengers safety
●
●
You will be able to remove the device to perform downloads.
*Please Note: Some vehicles including Renault, Citroen and Peugeot may come with a ‘Heat Reflective’, ‘Metal Oxide’, ‘Athermic’ or
‘Comfort’ windscreen which may affect the performance of the built in GPS antenna. If you are unsure what type of windscreen is
fitted to your vehicle then contact your local vehicle dealer or manufacturer for further information. In these situations you will need
to purchase an extension GPS antenna, which can be positioned either on the rear parcel shelf or outside the cabin of the vehicle.
Call 0333 240 1000 and select Option 1 for further details.
PLEASE NOTE: Be careful to choose a location that does not block the drivers view or where it might endanger the driver or
passengers should your vehicle suddenly come to a stop or be involved in an accident.
Installing 8 Series using the Windscreen Suction Cup bracket
You can mount 8 Series to the inside of your vehicles windscreen using the windscreen bracket provided.
●
●
Clean the area where you wish to position the bracket thoroughly with a good
quality glass cleaner. This allows a more secure seal on the windscreen.
●
●
Place the suction cup and bracket on the windscreen and push the locking lever
towards the windscreen to secure the bracket.
●
●
Adjust the angle of the bracket so that when the unit is attached to it you can view
the display and operate the controls safely.
●
●
Position 8 Series onto the bracket, sliding the DB5800 on to the bracket.
●
●
8 Series can be powered directly either from the internal battery if it is fully charged
or powered from the cigarette lighter socket. To use the cigarette lighter socket,
plug the smaller plug on one end of the power cable into the power socket marked on
the right hand side of 8 Series and plug the larger plug into the cigarette lighter socket
of your vehicle.
Please Note: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with 8 Series. 8 Series operates on 5V and using any other
cigarette lighter power cable will damage your device and void the warranty.
