Vehicle Installation

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install Edge while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.

Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio

When installing Edge in your vehicle, choose a location where it will not block your vision, interfere with the controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight, which will affect the visibility of the display screen.

Several examples of Edge mounted in a vehicle are shown: A is the on dash method using the Dash Mount, and B is the vent clip method using the Vent Mount.

Vehicle Installation

Step 2: Install the Dash or Vent Mount

Depending on your situation, you can either choose to use the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount.

IMPORTANT! When you install the chosen mount, do not attach the dock to the mount. All cables should be attached to the dock prior to connecting the dock to the mount.

Installing the Dash Mount:

CAUTION! The adhesive used on the Dash Mount may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces (contact your vehicle dealer if you are unsure about your dash surface), and make sure the air temperature is at least 60ûF (15ûC) during installation. If it’s not at least 60ûF, turn on the heater in your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60ûF.

1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is ample room

for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Edge Radio when installed.

2 Set the orientation of the Dash Mount before adhering it. Loosen the

knob and adjust the adhesive foot for the location you selected in “Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio” on page 14:

•Option 1 & Option 3 should be oriented as I.

•Option 2 should be oriented as II.

3 The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions. Adjust as

Knob Adhesive Foot Dock Mounting Plate

necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.

4 Clean the surface with the alcohol

preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

5 Peel off the adhesive liner. Position,

press, and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT! Allow the Dash Mount adhesive to cure (dry) for a minimum of 2-4 hours before using the mount. The best adhesion occurs after 24 hours.

TIP! To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

Extended Vent Clamps

Vehicle Installation

Installing the Vent Mount:

1 Locate a vent with horizontal

louvers sturdy enough to hold your PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Radio.

2 If the vent louvers in your vehicle are

recessed, you may need to use the longer vent clamps with the Vent Mount. If so, remove the shorter vent clamps and install the longer ones into the Vent Mount. Be sure to observe the orientation of the vent clamps as shown.

3 Push the Vent Mount onto the vehicle vent as shown (1) until it hooks on

the rear of the vent louver (2).

Step 3: Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle, on a horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The antenna contains a strong magnet which will stick to any metal part of your vehicle, but will not damage the vehicle.

To install the Magnetic Mount Antenna:

1 Choose the best location for your antenna considering

your vehicle type. Pay particular attention to any accessories that you may have like luggage racks and how frequently you may use them.

Sedan/Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna just above either

the front windshield or the back window as shown.

Magnet

SUV: We recommend mounting the antenna at the rear of the roof as

shown.

Convertible: We recommend mounting the antenna at the leading edge

of the trunk as shown.

Pickup Truck: We recommend mounting the antenna just above the front windshield as shown.

IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-metallic (i.e., fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a location for your antenna.

2 Clean the surface of the selected mounting

location using the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

Vehicle Installation

3 If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the

Cable Routing Adapter to direct the antenna cable downward.

4 Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and

Cautions shown on the next several pages.

TIP! Mount the antenna on the roof (for most vehicles) or trunk (for convertibles) where it has a clear view of the sky in all directions.

Vehicle Installation

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna inside the vehicle, for example, on the dashboard.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna on any of the vehicle’s front, back or side pillars.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to a roof rack. Adjust the rack so it’s further away from the antenna or move the antenna closer to the center of the roof.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 3 inches away.

Vehicle Installation

Step 4: Route the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable

Before you begin routing the antenna cable, read these general instructions for how to route and hide the antenna cable. Then route your antenna cable according to the instructions which follow for your specific type of vehicle.

a plastic knife, or a similar blunt tool to lift the

TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.
