Installation Process

1. Select Your Installation Location

To ensure proper operation, the eZoom Locator must be installed in one of the
following three concealed locations:

A. Under Front Driver or Passenger Seat

Select a concealed location under the front driver or passenger seat. Make
sure that installation of the unit and placement of wiring does not impede or
interfere with normal operation of the seat.

B. Under rear package shelf

C. Behind the glove box

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure the +12V is a constant source of power regardless of whether the
ignition switch is in the “ON” or “OFF” position.

• DO NOT mount the eZoom Locator under the hood of the vehicle

For more information about eZoom, click here. 16

• DO NOT mount the eZoom Locator where it will be exposed to moisture

• DO NOT mount the eZoom Locator in a spot that will impede safe vehicle
operation

• Make sure the positioning of the Locator does not interfere with any
vehicle components

After selecting one of the three concealed mounting locations:

• Make sure the mini-USB cable will reach the intended location of the
power supply module

• Make sure that when the vehicle is reassembled that all of the charger’s
cables are secure and can not be pulled loose.

2. Mount Locator Bracket (optional)

The installation kit includes a Locator Bracket along with a Velcro set, 2-sided
tape, zip-ties and two sheet metal screws. Use of mounting bracket is
optional, the eZoom Locator can be mounted directly using supplied Velcro,
2-sided tape and zip-ties depending on your installation.

When mounting the bracket, make sure when the vehicle is reassembled that
all of the unit’s cables are secure and can not be pulled loose.

3. Mount Locator Charger

The charger should be securely attached to the vehicle, close to the eZoom.
The charger can be securely attached using the included Velcro set, 2-sided
tape, zip-ties or sheet metal screw.

4. Connect eZoom Charger to Vehicle Power Source

USE CAUTION WHEN PROBING WIRES IN THE VEHICLE.
AVOID CHARGER GOING INTO AND AROUND THE AIRBAG MODULES. AVOID
ANY HARNESS TAPED IN YELLOW OR BEARING YELLOW “SRS” (SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM) TAGS.

Use wire ties to secure wiring from being pulled out of the eZoom Locator and
to ensure that it does not interfere with any vehicle components.

Black Wire (-) ground wire

Once the eZoom Locator charger is mounted, connect the black ground wire
to an existing factory bolt using crimp-on ring connector. Please note: the
power wire is also black, however, it has a dotted white line with the white
plastic fuse holder attached to it. The ground wire should be installed rst. Use
a wire brush or rotary le to remove the paint from around the bolt to allow for
the best possible connection to ground. A good location to nd a suitable bolt
is in either the driver’s or passenger’s kick panel. Do not select a bolt that has
existing factory ground wires attached to it. Make sure the bolt is retightened
properly after you are nished. Make sure any paint underneath the bolt has
been removed to provide the best possible ground connection. Once the
vehicle is reassembled, this connection should not be immediately visible.

Red (12V+) positive supply wire

Once the ground connection has been completed, locate a source of positive
(+) 12 Volts that remains constant regardless of whether the ignition switch is
in the on or o position. Please note: the (12V+) positive supply wire may not
be red, please consult your vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for determining
the correct location of this supply wire. A good location to nd a constant
12V (+) source is at the vehicle’s battery, main switch ignition harness or fuse
box. Make sure you install the fuse holder within 6 inches from the point you
have obtained power. The included fuse is designed to protect the power
supply itself. Use caution if you are using a fuse tap; severe and costly damage
may occur to fuse box if they are not used correctly. Make certain the circuit
you tap into does not fall “asleep” after the car ignition has been turned o.
Most new vehicles incorporate battery saver circuits which switch o power
to non-essential accessories after the vehicle has been switched o. Consult
the vehicle manufacture shop manual for location and descriptions of these
circuits.
