The audio microphone should be mounted in a good location where it can properly pick voice signals within the
vehicle. It should not be too exposed and at the same time should not be hidden, instead it should be disguised
somewhere in a central location within the vehicle. E.g. dashboard, behind the back seat mid way between the two
speakers (this location is usually affected by the speakers if the sound system is on). Make sure the microphone is
properly insulated from grounding on the vehicle chassis.

7. Mounting the backup Battery (if included):
The unit already comes with an internal backup battery that keeps the unit running even when external power has
been disconnected. The run time depends on which controls are being used, but provides an average of 12-24 hrs of
back up power use.
On request, some of the Connect2Car kits also include an external backup battery. The backup battery
should be mounted at the same place with the device. This is in order to minimize energy losses due to resistance
of wire. Mounting in other locations far from the device is also possible but please make sure that connecting
terminal does not exceed 2m as this may lead to voltage drop and thereby low power supply to the device. Also
ensure that the battery is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
