Cellular antenna (not included)
The cellular antenna is attached with a mini-UHF type connector to a
pigtail (GCK-13) on the cradle and is used to enhance reception when the
phone is in the cellular mode. This is not included with the car kit.
Data cable (not included)
A serial port data cable, RS-232, 9-pin, can connect a PC to the GEM (GCK-
1) so that the phone can send and receive data. This cable is not included in
the car kit. See Hands-Free Car Kit optional accessories, page 12.
Precautions for installation
■ It is recommended that the car kit be installed by a professional car kit
installer.
■ Choose the mounting location of the GEM and cradle carefully so that
they will not interfere with normal driving operations and are not
exposed to hot air from the vehicle’s heater.
■ The car kit should not be installed directly over any type of electrical or
connecting wire or pipeline for fuel, oil, air conditioning, or other
pipeline.
■ Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
■ The car kit is designed for vehicles with a negative ground 12 volt
electrical system only. If your vehicle has a negative ground 24 volt
electrical system, use a suitable voltage regulator. Other supply
voltages or polarities could damage the equipment.
■ Use only the cables included in the car kit or the optional longer cable
to connect the ODU to the cradle.
■ Turn off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery terminal
while installing the car kit.
■ After installation, check that the car interface cable and external
antenna cable do not interfere with opening and closing the doors and
trunk, or with moving the sun visor, steering wheel, brakes, gear shift,
or seats. Also, make sure all of the cables operate properly.
■ After installation, make sure that all the components are secured and
do not shift when the vehicle is in motion or comes to a stop.
■ Use the supplied fuses for wiring.
