5. Installation
This section describes the installation of the vehicle
equipment.
Please read and fully understand the following
precautionary paragraphs before starting the
installation.
•= Before cutting or drilling any openings in the
vehicle or lightbar, draw a diagram showing
placement, measurements, and dimensions. Use
the diagram to avoid drilling or cutting holes in
undesirable locations.
•= Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations concerning modification,
alteration, and installation or connection of
accessories or equipment to the vehicle and
lightbar.
•= Installation on specialty vehicles (such as
motorcycles, parking enforcement, utility, and
special maintenance vehicles) requires particular
care and attention to details.
•= Do not mount the vehicle equipment within
18 inches of a radio antenna.
•= Follow the installation instructions to avoid
possible radio frequency interference problems.
•= The Radio/GPS module should be oriented to
have the highest point facing forward on the
vehicle. If necessary, one of the two sides may
face forward. The end with the wire entry point
should never point forward. It should be
mounted level and as high on the vehicle as
possible.
•= The Radio/GPS module must not be obstructed
by lights, speakers, antennas, or other devices.
•= The Radio/GPS module should not be mounted
inside the passenger compartment.
•= The Radio/GPS module should have an
unobstructed view of at least 50% of the sky.
•= Wires that are routed under carpets or mats
should be run between the pad and the carpet.
This will minimize abrasion and heat damage
from catalytic converters.
•= Protect cables with armor or sheathing when they
are routed around sharp corners and edges.
Avoid routing cables through potential pinch
points. Clamp or tie all cables in place. Route
and secure cables well away from moving parts.
•= Do not disassemble the Radio/GPS module.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
•= Do not modify the Radio/GPS module.
CAUTION
Modifying the Radio/GPS module may
seriously damage the equipment and void the
warranty. Do not attempt to disassemble or
modify the Radio/GPS module in anyway.
Modifying the radio and/or antenna in anyway
may cause the radio to violate FCC
requirements.
