Installation Note: Power Sources
The ideal location for connecting the Power Input cable is an accessory out-
put in your vehicle’s fuse panel. If a fused output is not available, Symbol rec-
ommends that you use the provided in-line fuse holder and 2A fuse. The fuse
protects your vehicle from an electrical short on the power line to the cradle.
To use the cradle when your vehicle’s ignition is off, connect the cradle to un-
switched power.
Installation Note: Cable Routing Caution
The means of routing and securing the Power Input cable from the cradle
through to the vehicle power source is extremely important. Hazards associ-
ated with improper wiring can be severe. To avoid unintentional contact be-
tween the wire and any sharp edges, provide the cable with proper bushings
and clamping where it passes through openings. If the wire is subjected to
sharp surfaces and excess engine vibration, the wiring harness insulation
can wear away, causing a short between the bare wire and chassis. This can
start a fire.
