INSTALLATION

Geosat2C is easy and quick to install.

MOUNTING THE BRACKET

Geosat2C can easily be mounted on every vehicle provided with car lighter, if in­stalled wrongly it might not work properly. To work well it must be fixed on the
dashboard with one of the brackets given in the box. Do not put it on the passenger
seat, because it might be a dangerous distraction for the driver.

♦ The rotating bracket must be attached on the windscreen by its sucker, it can be

used on most vehicles. Clean the glass well, arrange the sucker on the windscreen
so that the navigator lays on the dashboard, then fix the sucker pulling the
locking lever.

MOUNTING THE GPS ANTENNA

The next step is the GPS antenna installation. The end of the antenna is magnetic
so that you can place it outside the vehicle, its cable is made of a torn proof
material so that it does not break even if it is closed between the door and body of
the vehicle. The antenna can be placed on the dashboard or on the back of the
vehicle, but Geosat2C will work better if it is put outside, on the bonnet or on the
roof. After fastening the antenna take its cable inside the vehicle passing it through
the passenger door, and put it in the glove box, where you will leave the hank; pull
out the part of the cable you need to connect it to Geosat2C by its end pin.
The higher is the GPS antenna, the better it will receive the signal.

WARNING!!!

MOUNTING GEOSAT

DO NOT COVER THE ANTENNA WITH SHIELDING MATERIALS (METALS,
ETC.).
DO NOT PUT THE ANTENNA IN THE BOOT NOR IN THE GLOVE BOX.
THERE MUST NOT BE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE ANTENNA AND THE SKY.
IF YOU PUT IT INSIDE MAKE SURE THAT THE GLASSES OF YOUR
VEHICLE ARE NOT SHIELDED, IF THEY ARE, PUT IT IN THE UNSHIELD
AREA OR OUTSIDE.

After fixing the bracket, placing the antenna and connecting it to the navigator put
the end part of the bracket into the runners you find in the back of the unit and
insert the 12 Vdc 12-24 Vdc adapter into the slot of the car lighter.
