First you need to find the right place to install your LINK 510.
Place
To find the right place take the following into consideration:
• Do not expose the LINK 510 to direct sunlight and/or high temperature for longer
periods to ensure proper operation.
• The top side of the device must not be obstructed by metal items to ensure GPS
reception using the integrated GPS receiver. For more felxibility with regards to
installation we recommend to use the external GPS antenna from TomTom Business
Solutions. For using the external GPS antenna, read Appendix: Using external
antennas on page 22.
• To ensure GSM/GPRS reception using the integrated GSM/GPRS antenna, the LINK 510
must not be placed on or surrounded by metal items such as the vehicle’s coachwork
closer than 5 cm and the top side must not be obstructed by metal items. For more
felxibility with regards to installation we recommend to use the external GSM antenna
from TomTom Business Solutions. For using the external GSM antenna, read
Appendix: Using external antennas on page 22.
