Connecting to the oMG 500

Figure 9 shows the power port on the rear panel of the oMG 500. To align the pins correctly, align the
key on the power cord connector with the corresponding indentation on the port and fully insert the
connector. Slide the plastic sleeve on the connector up over the port and turn it clockwise until it locks
into place. This protects the power cord against accidental disconnection caused by the vibration of
the vehicle.

Cable Management and Best Practice

It is important for the installer to ensure the cables attached to the oMG 500 are properly managed.
Proper cable management will eliminate unnecessary installation complications, allow for ease of
maintenance, and prolong cable longevity.
Complications as a result of undue handling of cables may void the unit's warranty. The installer must
adhere to the following practices:
1. Label each cable that is attached to the oMG. For example: WAN Antenna 1&2, GPS, WiFi LAN,
Ethernet to Device X.
2. Protect the cables using a cable conduit.
3. Secure each cable connected to the oMG via a permanent fixture as shown in Figure 10.
