Installing the main unit
Installation notes
• Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf.
* Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.
• When installing the unit choose a position that is strong enough to bear the weight of the
unit. Choose positions where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it secure-
ly. Unless the main unit is securely attached, the current location of the vehicle cannot
be displayed correctly.
• Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places which
are subject to vibration.
• When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.
• When installing the main unit, choose a position that ensures there will be no contact
with luggage. The impact of a heavy weight or sudden shock on the main unit will
adversely affect the accurate display of the current location of the vehicle.
• Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload-
ing of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc.
• Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed.
• Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within
five degrees to the left or right of your vehicle’s direction of travel). A surface tilted
more than this would increase the errors in location display.
• Do not install the main unit vertically. Installing it this way can cause it to function
improperly.
