Installing your Syrius
The Syrius comes with a windscreen bracket so that the unit can be mounted onto your vehicles windscreen.
When installing your Syrius please ensure that:
l The unit, with its built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky*
l It is located in a position where you can easily view the LCD display without having to take your eyes too far from the road
ahead and that you can reach the controls safely.
l Does not interfere with the vehicles controls
l Does not jeopardise the drivers or passengers safety
l You will be able to remove the device to perform downloads.
*Please Note: Some vehicles including Renault, Citroen and Peugeot may come with a ‘Heat Reective’, ‘Metal Oxide’,
‘Athermic’ or ‘Comfort’ windscreen which may affect the performance of the built in GPS antenna. If you are unsure what
type of windscreen is tted to your vehicle then contact your local vehicle dealer or manufacturer for further information. In
these situations you will need to purchase an extension GPS antenna, which can be positioned either on the rear parcel
shelf or outside the cabin of the vehicle. Call 0870 787 0700 and select Option 2 for further details.
PLEASE NOTE: Be careful to choose a location that does not block the drivers view or where it might endanger
the driver or passengers should your vehicle suddenly come to a stop or be involved in an accident.
Installing your Syrius using the Windscreen Suction Cup bracket
You can mount your Syrius to the inside of your vehicles windscreen
using the windscreen bracket provided.
l Clean the area where you wish to position the bracket thoroughly with
a good quality glass cleaner. This allows a more secure seal on the
windscreen.
l Place the suction cup and bracket on the windscreen and push the
locking lever towards the windscreen to secure the bracket.
l Adjust the angle of the bracket so that when the unit is attached to it
you can view the display and operate the controls safely.
l Position the Syrius onto the bracket, by sliding it onto it as indicated.
Remove the Syrius by sliding the unit upwards and off the bracket.
l The Syrius can be powered directly either from the internal battery
if it is fully charged or powered from the cigarette lighter socket. To
use the cigarette lighter socket, plug the smaller plug on one end of
the power cable into the socket marked DC 5V on the back of the
Syrius and plug the larger plug into the cigarette lighter socket of your
vehicle.
Please Note: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with the Syrius. The Syrius operates on 5V not
12V and using any other cigarette lighter power cable will damage your device and void the warranty.
