350P GPS Installation Guide

(see reverse side for Safety and Legal Notices)

BEFORE YOU START

A maximum roof thickness cannot

exceed 3/8”.

DO NOT

mount in an area

where thickness of the roof is greater

than 3/8”.

Tools Required:

Tape measure

-Pencil-Center punch

Electric or air drill

1/8” drill bit

3/8” drill bit

7/8” drill bit, orhole punch

15/16” wrench

Heat gun (shrink tubing)

Recommended Option:

Silicone sealant

SEE “CAUTION” NOTE ON PAGE 2

STEP 1

Find a suitable location o

n the vehicle

where you want to mount the MR

350P.

Use a tape measure to find the center or

the location to drill, then mark with a

center punch.

TIP:

It may be easier to see the drill

location if you apply some masking tape

to the area first and mark wit

h a pencil

after measuring.

Things to consider before you drill a

hole:

a.)

Will the cable reach your

computer from this location?

b.)

Is the thickness of your roof

3/8” or less?

c.)

Will you have enough access

in the interior to attach and

tighten the mounting washe

and nut?

d.)

Are there any metalsupports,

bracing or wiring in the area

you could possibly be drilling

into?

e.)

Is there at least 1” clearance

between the inside headliner

and roof interior to allow for

concealment of the washer,

the nut and the cable?

STE

P 2

Drill a small 1/8” pilot hole first then

double

check the location from the

underside to confirm placement.

STEP 3

Increase the hole size with a3/8” drill bit.

STEP 4

Drill the final hole size using a 7/8” drill bit

or a hole punch. (Hole cannot be

smaller

than 7/8” or the MR

350P will seat flat

and properly seal.)

STEP 5

Insert the MR

350P cable and receiver

into the hole.

Recommended:

Apply a ¼” bead of silicone sealant

directly around the hole before insertion

of the MR

350’s threaded shaft.

EP 6

From the underside, slide the provided

flat washer, then “star” lock washer and

the nut through thecable and thread onto

the shaft. Use a 15/16” wrench to tighten

the nut until snug

–

DO NOT overtighten.

Slide on the included 3” strip of heat

shri

nk tubing over the end of the PS/2

connector. Then attach the female PS/2

connector of your interface cable kit to

the MR

350Ps PS/2.

NOTE:

The pin configuration may

NOT

match with non

Globalsat cable sets

and

could cause

DAMAGE

to your GPS

receiver if c

onnected. Use only Globalsat

approved cables and connectors with

your MR

350P

STEP 7

Once securely inserted into each other,

slide the 3” strip of shrink tubing over the

two connectors and apply heat. After

several seconds, the tubing should start

to shr

ink around the two connectors

together so they cannot be pulled apart.

STEP 8

Run the MR

350P cable behind the

headliner, sidewall panels and

carpeting to the location of where your

computer will be.

Things to consider when routing your

cable:

a.)

Do not a

llow the cable to

come in contact with high

heat sources, which could

damage or melt the cable.

b.)

Keep cable clear from moving

linkage such as break pedals,

gas pedals, shifter linkage,

park break cables and

steering mechanisms.

c.)

Do not let cable rub on sharp

edges.

Route cable as neatly as possible and

keep excess cable secure.

STEP 9

Now you can complete the connection

to your laptop, or other device. (Note: if

you are using the USB interface cable

kit, you will be required to load a driver,

which is includ

ed with the USB cable

kit.)

Configure your laptop (or other device)

as you would normally to accept GPS

data from the assigned COM port.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

You must record your GPS serial number BEFORE installation. Withou

t this

serial number, you will not be able to register the unit and have access to

technical support for the duration of the warranty period. The serial number

can either be located on the underside of the unit, or on the cable near the

connector

1.) Reco

rd your serial number here: __________________________________

or your safety, take care to route all cables away from shifters, pedals, accessory controls

and mechanisms.

WARNING: Drive safely and use common sense.

It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to drive safely, observe all traffic rules and above

all use your own personal judgment while driving.

If you feel that a route suggested by the navigation software instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places

you in an unsafe

situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsaf

e, do not follow the instructions.

WARNING: Keep your eyes on the road.

It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to keep your eyes on the road and be an alert driver at all times, especial

ly when the vehicle is

CAUTION

DO NOT install the

MR-350P in close

proximity to other RF antennas, as the

power output from radios can effect GPS

reception. Exact mounting distance from

other antennas can vary, so it is high

recommended that you temporarily

attached the MR

350P in the desired

mounting ar

ea (wire tie, tape, etc) to fully

test the location while using your other

radio equipment to verify that there is no

interference before drilling your

permanent mounting hole for the MR

350P

WARNING:

ounting nut should thread onto the

shaft easily (ap

ply WD40 if necessary).

DO NOT

use excessive force, or over

tighten the nut. Apply a liberal amount of

silicone sealant (1/2” bead) around the

mounting hole to thourghly seal mounting

and to avoid having to over

tighten nut. If

there is any excessive gap

s around outer

edge of MR

350P after mounting, fill with

additional silicone sealant.
