Quick Installation Guide

 Unpack Everything

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

 Equipment Required

The following tools may help you to complete the installation:

‧Drill ‧Screwdrivers ‧Wire cutters

 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
