3.2.1.
Proper Handling
The base system is a ruggedized computer. However, as with any electronic equipment, proper
handling is required and can be achieved using these guidelines:
•
If you are not an experienced installer, first obtain training in safe procedures for electrical wiring
in vehicles.
•
Ensure that the power source is off during installation.
•
Do not subject the system to environmental hazards such as shock, excessive vibration, or
wetness during or after installation.
3.2.2.
You can mount the base unit under the deck lid or on the floorboard of the equipment storage of the
vehicle. To select a mounting location, consider the following requirements:
•
The location must accommodate the size of the unit and the positions of the mounting tabs; see
Figure 6 and Figure 7.
•
Allow sufficient clearance space on both ends of the base unit and above the base unit to let you
connect the various components and perform other maintenance tasks. The minimum clearance
is 3.5 in. (9 cm).
•
Position the base unit to avoid damage when other items are placed into or removed from the
equipment storage.
•
Allow a distance of at least 7.9 in. (20cm) between the WLAN and WAN antennas and any person
during normal operation.
