SAFETY & AFTER-MARKET EQUIPMENT

WARNING

FAILURE TO INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT AS RECOMMENDED COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT AND RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS.

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

• Airbags, including but not limited to potential obstruction of airbag deployment;

• Passenger compartment, including but not limited to potential for ergonomic

problems, physical obstacles, etc.; and

• Trunk/gas tank protection, including but not limited to the potential for

trunk-mounted equipment to exacerbate tank vulnerability in a rear collision.

This product is to be installed by qualified installation personnel only. The installer must be trained in industry best practices for this type of installation. The training would include but not be limited to:

1. 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 compo-

nents 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 other equipment, itself,

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.

If any questions remain after reading this guide, please contact Customer Care at 1-877-411-8727 for more information.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

CAUTIONS

a) Carefully read the Installation Guide before installing this product. If anything is un-

clear please contact Trapeze for support.

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

Note: Some components may lose short-term memory (i.e. engine or transmission adaptive parameters, and radio presets) after a protracted time without battery power.

c) Ranger should be serviced by qualified, trained personnel only. Attempting to

remove the cover or disassemble the device could expose you to dangerous high voltage points.

d) 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.

e) 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.

TOUCH PANEL CARE AND CLEANING

• Do not use high-pressure air, water or steam to clean the surface of the touch

panel. The action may cause the touchpanel to mal-function.

• Clean the touch panel surface with a dry soft cloth; only Alcohol or Ammonia

based cleaner 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

moistrue 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. A heavy duty film option is available as a manufacturing option.
