TVIT Installation & Start Guide

PLEASE NOTE
TVIT interfaces have been carefully designed and tested to comply with RP1210
protocols. However, some vehicle models are not in full compliance with these
protocols for various reasons. In addition, the computer control systems or
sensors on any given vehicle may be malfunctioning or out of specification.
While Drew Tech’s testing and the experience of thousands of TVIT users have
shown the unit to be safe and reliable, there is an inherent risk in using any
product that may potentially affect the operation or drive-ability of your vehicle.
If you are concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time while using
TVIT:
* Pull off the roadway immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so.
* Disconnect TVIT from the J1939/J1708 port.
* Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.
Report any issues or concerns to our Technical Support Dept. at
support@drewtech.com. We are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. Eastern Time. We maintain an active database of the feedback we receive,
and your comments can help us continuously improve the product.
