Plug the wiring harness into the device and place the unit under the dash above the instrument cluster
(reference Image C).
A good placement of the device will yield a minimum of 7 satellites. The device will not transmit data location with
less than 4 satellites in view.
Place the NT-V3ia under the dash. For best results, use
a zip-tie to secure the device to ensure it doesn’t fall
from beneath the dash.
Our device transmits once every 30 minutes if sitting
still, or once every 5 or 10 seconds (depending on your
rate plan) when the vehicle is moving faster than 4 mph.
Driving the vehicle around the block will assist in its fi rst
data transmission.
The best location has a full view of the sky through the
front windshield (reference Image C.)
Make sure the device is kept free from direct exposure
to the elements (sun, heat, rain, moisture).
When installed inside a building, your unit may not
receive a GPS signal or cellular signal. GPS signals WILL
penetrate glass, plastic, foam, fi berglass, and wood. GPS signals will NOT penetrate metal.
