1.Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
2.Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.
3.Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.
4.Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
5.When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause the unit to malfunction.
