Safety precautions

2WARNING

To prevent injury while using this product, take the following safety precautions:

•To prevent a short circuit and possible fire, never put any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the product.

•If you are the driver and your vehicle is moving, do not watch the product’s display or use its controls for an extended period.

•Do not use this product in any way that prevents you from driving safely.

•Follow all driving laws and use common sense when using this product.

NOTE:

•Like your vehicle’s speedometer, G-Analyzer is no more than a measuring function. The HP or G value measured by this unit may not be

completely accurate due to its simplified method of measurement. The G-Analyzer is only for reference and should not be used to confirm the horsepower specifications of your vehicle.

•Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

•Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

•Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

•To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.
