1 Safety and Aftermarket Equipment

The use of aftermarket equipment in motor vehicles can compromise a vehicle’s safety-related design characteristics, including but not limited to the following examples:

• Airbags - Obstruction of airbag deployment

• Passenger compartment - Ergonomic problems, physical obstacles

• Trunk/gas tank protection - Trunk-mounted equipment to exacerbate tank vulnerability in a rear collision

This product must be installed by qualified installation personnel only. The installer must be trained in industry

best practices for aftermarket vehicle installations.

The training would include but not be limited to the methods described in the following sections.

1.1 Installing Cables

The appropriate methods for installing cables such that:

• The operation of the vehicle is not interfered with.

• The installation process does not damage or interfere with other vehicle components and/or systems. Wiring

is kept clear of sharp objects, sources of heat and any other hazard that could damage the cable or wire.

• Wiring is secured such that it does not cause damage to the equipment itself and other equipment or interfere with the operation of other systems and devices.

• Wiring through bulkheads is performed such that wiring does not chafe, and a seal is maintained between compartments.

• Appropriate and industry standard fasteners, splices, connectors and ties are used for the vehicle environment.

• Appropriate slack is in place to prevent straining of the wire, cable or connectors.

• Any other issue that could affect the integrity of the wiring or the safe operation of the vehicle is addressed

appropriately.

• All wires connected to power sources are fused at the power source.

1.2 Mounting Equipment

The appropriate methods for mounting equipment in vehicles must be applied such that:

• The equipment does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

• The equipment is attached to the vehicle as securely as possible to minimize the risk of the equipment

breaking free in a collision.

• The installed equipment does not interfere with the deployment of air bags.

• The installed equipment does not obscure displays or interfere with the ability of the driver to operate other

vehicle systems and components.

• The installation process does not damage other vehicle systems or components. Compartments remain sealed against the elements.

1.3 Use and Operation of Required Tools

To ensure the correct use and operation of the required tools.

• The installer must have the ability to read, understand and follow the instructions in the installation manual.

• The installer must be equipped with the correct tools for performing each installation operation.

The customer must ensure that the installation of all equipment provided is safe, used for its intended purpose, and is in continual accordance with all applicable codes, rules, regulations and guidelines provided by motor vehicle and equipment manufacturers, as well as any state, local or jurisdictional bodies.

2 Introduction

Trapeze Ranger V4.4 is a Windows CE fixed-mount computer used for various systems such as two-way wireless communication, electronic dispatching, and in-vehicle navigation.

This Ranger Installation guide includes directions for successfully installing and interfacing a Ranger into a vehicle. Some wiring and installation procedures may be different for each customer and should be discussed prior to installation. If you need information not covered in this guide, please contact your Customer Care representative.

3 Before You Begin

1. Carefully read the Installation Guide before installing this product. If anything is unclear, please contact your Customer Care representative for support.

2. Ensure that the NEGATIVE battery connection is disconnected before beginning work.

Some components may lose short-term memory, that is, engine or transmission adaptive parameters, and

radio presets after a protracted time without battery power.

3. Ranger should only be serviced by qualified, trained personnel. Attempting to remove the cover or disassemble the device could expose you to dangerous high voltage points.

4. Do not attempt to install or operate a damaged device. If the unit has been exposed to excessive amounts of water; shows evidence of physical damage; or is not operating properly; unplug it from the power source and contact qualified service personnel.

5. Use of thread-locking compounds such as Loctite may cause serious damage to plastic enclosures. Many thread-locking compounds are not compatible with thermoplastics and can lead to stress cracking. This will require the unit to be returned to replace the ABS enclosures.

3.1 Care and Cleaning of the Touch Panel

• Do not use high-pressure air, water or steam to clean the surface of the touch panel. The action may cause the touch panel to malfunction.

• Clean the touch panel surface with a dry soft cloth; only alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners can be used with caution when necessary.

• Always dampen the cloth and clean the panel. Do not spray the cleaning agent on the panel itself.

•

The touch panel is sensitive to long-term water exposure and any excess moisture should be wiped off. Do not apply adhesive materials to the surface of the touch panel. This can cause permanent damage. This restriction includes stickers, tape and static screen protectors.

The use of aftermarket screen protectors is not recommended and may void the warranty of the touch panel.
