3. Preparing/installing the device
3.1. Open the device to insert a sim card
Insert a flat screwdriver into the inner battery switch hole and pry it to remove the back
cover. Afterwards pull on the PCB to release it.

3.2. Connect the GSM/GPS external antenna
3.3. Choose the appropriate location for mounting
The ideal location for mounting the device is under the dashboard. However, some types of
coated windshields, as well as windshields with an in-screen heating system can block GPS
signals. External antenna should never be covered by any kind of object or material,
especially not by metal or aluminium. Transmission and reception of GPS signal is however
not hindered by plastic or normal glass. Moreover, put at least 20 cm between the antenna
and a speaker.

Power supply may be derived directly from the vehicle’s main power or from the board
installation. In the first case, it is an absolute must that a fuse on the main cable is present.
Ignition wire must always be connected to the vehicle’s ignition OR tied with the
permanent positive to the vehicle’s battery.
Ground must be always connected first. It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to the
permanent positive. The closer to the connection point with vehicle power.

3.5. Plug the device to the external battery
The device must have a direct connection with the main power (external battery). Mobile
Devices advise against the use of intermediate system.
1. Check that inputs 2 and 3 are free (not connected).
2. Plug the device (black wire) to the ground of the external battery.
3. Plug the device (red wire) to the permanent positive of the external battery.
4. Plug the device (white wire) to the ignition (after contact).
In some case, the use of a circuit breaker can let the ignition (after contact) active. Thus, the
device will be ON indefinitely. So, it’s important to find a signal where the ignition can be
ON or OFF.
Moreover, it is imperative to insulate the GPS antenna in order to avoid it get in touch with
the car’s chassis.
The device should be always plugged to :
• The ground of the external battery.
• A ground point defined by the vehicle manufacturer.
A circuit breaker should never be enabled as long as:
• Ignition is active.
• Ignition goes OFF since less than 2 minutes. This is the time for the device
to do a proper shutdown.
It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to the permanent positive. The closer to the
connection point with vehicle power.
4. Inputs activation threshold
Here are inputs activation thresholds (voltage).
• Input2 (negative) is active from approx. 0 to 2V (disabled if >2V)
• Input3 (negative) is active from approx. 0 to 2V (disabled if >2V)
Note: Range voltage on inputs is 0-30V
