4 3BPreplanned Accessory Positioning
Positioning of all accessories must be planned in advance before installation begins.
• Ensure that no wire braids go through locations where Phone accessories are to
be installed.
• Ensure that any parts of the handsfree Phone will not interfere with the vehicle or
its accessories’ opera ti on.
4.1 7BPlan Phone and Cradle Positions
Note!
The best way to determine the Phone’s position to the customer’s full
satisfaction is to locate it when the customer is beside you and obtain
his/her approval.
• Please ensure the Phone’s location does not interfere with the vehicle or its
accessories operation: it should not interfere with opening the glove compartment
or ashtray, should not prevent access to the lighter, moving the gear stick,
operating the hand break etc.
Warning!
Do not install the Phone in front of the vehicle’s air bag. This restriction
must be adhered to, as in the case of an emergency the air bag blows up
and can fail to work properly.
• Ensure the surface on which this Phone is installed is sufficiently strong to carry
the weight and pressure which would be exerted on it.
• When selecting the Phone’s location, please ensure the control cable connected
to it does not interfere with the vehicle or its accessories’ operation.
• Ensure it is safe and convenient to operate the Phone and read the display from
the driver’s seat.

6. Ensure the speaker cable is not exposed to damage by the passengers.
5.5 Installing the Electrical Connections
The electrical cable is provided separately from the control cable. Before installation begins,
connect the four leads (which include the 2A fuses) using a red or blue crimp sleeve as
appropriate.
Warning!
Please note sharp edges or moving parts which may damage the wires.
The value for the fuses provided with the kits must not be changed.
The kit is appropriate only for a 12V vehicle.
In case of converting any other kit model into this kit, please change the
power cable.
The electrical cables should be directed as follows:
• So as not to disturb the driver or passengers.
• So as not to pass near the car’s sharp or moving parts.
Note!
The external voltage connection is located under the dash board or close
to the fuse box (depending on the car model).
In new vehicles a cellular phone connection can be found near the fuse
box. See the car’s user’s manual under Info.
Only use the kit’s original fuses (250V / 2A).
