Installation
Note:
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot
— for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.

• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the
leads are trapped between this unit and the surrounding metalwork or fittings.
• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet,
where it would be affected by heat, or near the
doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If this unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does not break free
while the car is moving, and cause injury or an
accident.
• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make
sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all
leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the
mechanism and cause a short circuit.
• Do not mount this unit on the spare tire board or
any other unstable place.
• Do not mount this unit anywhere that gets the sun
and so becomes hot, like on the dashboard or the
rear shelf.
• Mount this unit on a flat surface.
MODE Switch Setting
Before installing, use a pen tip or other thin,
pointed instrument to set the MODE Switch to
the appropriate position for the component you
are using it with.
