Quick Install Guide :

1. Unpack Everything

Make sure you have everything you need before you begin the installation.

2. Equipment Required

The following tools may help you to complete the installation:

•Drill

•Screwdrivers

•Wire cutters

3. Choosing the Location

Choose a location for installation that:

•Provides convenient access for installing or removing the hard drive

•Allows air to flow around the fan vents. Inadequate or improper air flow can impede proper operation of the unit

Avoid any location for installation:

•That is subject to high vibration

•That is subject to high sunlight levels

•That is subject to drenched of the rain

•Where passengers can interfere with unit

•Next to a heater duct

The following table lists the recommended location options.

Location Convenient operation Easy to install Low vibration Good air flow

Bottom of glove box- horizontal mount

Bottom of passenger seat next to the driver

Underneath bulkhead-horizontal mount

Front of bulkhead-horizontal mount

Beside deriver seat-horizontal mount

Caution: Do not install the DVR on the floor or on the transmission access hatch. These locations have the highest levels of vibration and may

be subject to water damage.
