Installation Precautions

RF energy

Vehicle manufacturers make use of electronic control systems such as the ignition
and anti-skid devices.

Speed control, fuel injection, anti-lock braking, navigation, air bag and other
electronic systems are not adversely effected by RF interference. However, if
difficulty is experienced or faulty operation suspected, contact the vehicle
manufacturer for advice before continuing to install the product.

To prevent interference with any other electronic systems in the vehicle, the
antenna must be mounted away from these devices and their associated cables.
Refer to the vehicle handbook for the location of these devices and information
relating to radio frequency interference.

Specialised vehicles

The installation on certain specialised vehicles such as fuel tankers and fire-fighting
vehicles may be subject to additional safety regulations which must be closely
observed. Before starting to install this product, check the relevant safety
regulations for the vehicle and you understand them.

Petrol powered vehicles

Check the vehicle to ensure that there are no petrol leaks before starting an
installation involving the use of electric tools that may ignite the fuel. Before drilling,
always check the location of fuel lines and electrical wiring looms, Avoid drilling
near the fuel tank.
