Safety Warnings

Caution

The T5 must be mounted at least 25cm away from any transmitting antennas.

Do Not Mount the T5 Unit :

– To Air Lines or any vehicle cabling
– In direct exposure to the elements
– In excessive heat areas (exhaust manifolds, etc.)
– In excessive cold areas (refrigeration units)
– In high vibration areas (engine compartments, transmission)
– Near corrosive fluids and gases (acids, petroleum)
– In direct exposure to water
– In areas where excessive dust is present

Caution

Vehicles equipped with air bags.

An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including this device, in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. Serious injury could result if in-vehicle wireless equipment is incorrectly
installed and the air bag inflates.

Installation

The T5 unit must be installed by a professional installer familiar with vehicle systems and RF signals. Incorrect installation
may interfere with vehicle safety systems such as ABS, stability control and airbags or engine management CAN bus
signalling.

The T5 Unit must be mounted in a secure and hidden location to deter driver tampering.
When mounting the T5 Unit, find a suitable location that will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g.,

braking, clutch operation, or other electronic equipment).
The T5 Unit must be secured in the vehicle. Use tie wraps, screws, nut/bolts. The use of double sided tape to secure the

unit is not recommended, the T5 unit needs to be firmly fixed to a flat surface to allow the correct operation of the internal
accelerometer with all axes’ square to the direction of travel.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 25 centimeters between the radiator and

your body.
