QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

■ Installation

D Location
Select a location which can support the weight of the
transceiver and does not interfere with driving in any
way. We recommend the locations shown in the dia-
gram below.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or
where it could cause bodily injury.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
air bag deployment may be obstructed.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air
blows directly onto it.
DO NOT place the transceiver in direct sunlight.
D Using the mounting bracket
➀ Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be in-
stalled.
• Approx. 5.5–6 mm (0.25 inch) when using nuts; ap-
proximately 2–3 mm (0.13 inch) when using self-
tapping screws.
➁ Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through
the mounting bracket and tighten.
➂ Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function
display.
