Installation Guide

Choosing the correct position
First you need to choose the correct position in which to install your LINK 740.
Take the following into consideration:
•
Do not expose the LINK 740 to direct sunlight and/or high temperature for long periods to ensure prop-
er operation.
•
For optimal GNSS reception using the integrated GNSS receiver, the top of the device must not be ob-
structed by metal items. For more flexibility with regards to installation we recommend using the exter-
nal GNSS antenna from Webfleet Solutions.
•
For optimal cellular reception using the integrated cellular antenna, the device must not be placed on or
surrounded by metal items such as the vehicle’s coachwork closer than 5 cm (2 inches) and the top side
must not be obstructed by metal items.
1. Top side of the device must not be obstructed by metal items.
2. Keep minimum distance of 5 cm (2 inches) to metal items.
The device must be positioned with the top side pointing to the sky.
For optimal reception the device must be positioned so that it is unobstructed by metal objects.
The device must not interfere with clear vision for the driver.
Tinted metallised windscreens or those with integrated filament heating may block GNSS reception.
Place the unit a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches) distance to the coachwork or other metal items, so that opti-
mal mobile network transmission and GNSS reception is ensured.
The unit must be placed on an oil free, dry and clean surface, when using the adhesive strips. Extreme
temperature changes/differences can affect the adhesive property of the strips.
The device must not be placed inside ventilation ducts.
The device and its cable must not block or impede vent controls, in the case the device is mounted near
ventilation ducts.
Do not mount the device close to other electrical components in the car like built-in alarms, gateway, con-
trol units, navigation units or to toll collect devices where it could cause or receive interferences.
Before installing the device, please consider the safety instructions and choose the correct position.
