MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Please note before mounting, ill. 4:
–
To ensure access to the CD opening a free space of at least 130 mm has to be in
front of the navigation computer.
–
For sufficient air circulation a free space of at least 50 mm has to be behind the
navigation computer.
–
The computer must be installed horizontally. Deviations of - 10 to + 30 degrees can
be set in the "Mounting angle" menu (see "Initial operation"). Larger deviations
may result in malfunctions.
–
A stable connection to the car body is necessary for the computer to function
correctly!
Insert metal sleeve into the DIN opening and press appropriate tags outwards with a
screwdriver. Take care not to damage hidden parts in the dashboard.
Securing the computer using the mounting brackets
If installation of the navigation computer in a DIN slot is impossible or undesirable, it
can be installed in alternative installation locations using the supplied mounting
brackets (e.g., in the glove box, in the luggage compartment or under the seats).
For this purpose, both side-mounted catch springs must be removed from the
navigation computer. The two Torx screws are required later for securing the
mounting bracket.
Attaching mounting brackets, ill. 5
1. Position the brackets with the punched out tab at the right (or left) rear edge of the
computer housing. It must be ensured that the tab fully engages with the sheet
metal of the computer housing.
2. Swing the bracket forwards, applying pressure to the rear edge of the bracket so that
it is flush with the computer housing.
3. Fasten the brackets to the computer housing using the existing Torx screws.
The computer can then be secured in the desired installation location using the screws
supplied.
Suspended installation
If suspended installation is required for the computer (e.g., under the rear shelf), the
mounting brackets can be attached to the computer in the reversed position.
Installing GPS antenna, ill. 6 - 7
The GPS antenna can be mounted in the vehicle interior, for example on the
dashboard or on the hatshelf. The antenna must have clear "view" of the sky.
–
In vehicles with metallic window tinting the GPS antenna should be mounted
outside on the vehicle body, for example on the roof or in the plastic bumper.
–
On metal surfaces the antenna can be fixed magnetically. Therefor remove the
metal plate from the bottom of the antenna and place the antenna on the cleaned
surface.
–
When mounting on other surfaces the metal plate has to remain below the
antenna. In this case stick install antenna with double-sided adhesive tape.
Note: To ensure perfect function please keep a distance of at least 10 cm to metall
parts like window frame.
