Qube4 Hardware: Shipping Plug Internal Back-Up Battery Yellow Shipping Plug The Yellow Shipping Plug is inserted into the Serial Data Port prior to shipping the device. This disables the internal back-up battery during shipping and prevents any cellular signal transmissions while in transit.
Identifying Correct Wires 1. Remove any interior/under dash trim necessary to gain access to vehicle’s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located. 2. Attach fuse holders to the Constant and Ignition wires of the Qube’s harness. 3.

Identifying Correct Wires Vehicle’s Constant Power wire The correct wire will have battery voltage +12V (or +24V) present at all times, even when the ignition key is in off position or removed. Connect Qube’s red wire here. Vehicle’s Ignition wire The correct wire will have +12V (or +24V) present only when -- the key is in ON position, during cranking and while motor is running.
“Poke & Wrap” Solder-less Connections Whenever connecting wires inside the cab, the recommended method soldering. alternative, a “Poke & Wrap” method for solder- less connections can be used. Strip. Use wire strippers to pull back at least ¾ inch insulation from the vehicle’s source wire. Next, strip back approximately 1”...
Chassis Ground Connection • Connect the Qube’s Ground wire (black) to vehicle’s chassis. • For a solid connection, use a ring tongue terminal connector, star washer and a self-tapping screw • Do not ground under existing bolts that hold brackets or panels in place. 14 | Confidential...

Tamper-Evident Seal “Poke and Wrap” Fuse Holders Apply Tamper-Evident Seal paste (Torque-Seal or inspector’s lacquer) to all “Poke and Wrap” connections, fuse holders and the ground screw. Once applied it sticks to the surface and dries hard over 24 hours. Once hard it will crack on removal making the tampering obvious.
Mount the Qube to an existing wire harness with strong zip-ties or to sheet metal using screws. Position the Qube with the LEDs facing down (LEDs visible for troubleshooting and Qube4 protection from water ingress). • Complete the installation by securing all wires with zip-ties, away from any moving parts or sharp metal edges.

(red LED on). 12. Contact Navman Support to verify the device is activated/registered with appropriate carrier. 13. If a spare/working Qube is available, plug it in, turn ignition on and verify that its red Cell LED comes on. If the red LED is on, remove the original Qube from vehicle for replacement.

Troubleshooting Qube Installation Symptom: Qube is reporting to AVL2 but shows invalid location (GPS Fix Issues – Amber LED Off) (Keep in mind, the Qube may not be reporting correct GPS location or repeating last known location because the Qube’s antenna does not have clear view of sky, is obstructed or defective) 1.
Page 32
Troubleshooting Wiring Symptom: Qube is reporting to AVL2 but displays “Power up + Ignition On” icons. This condition is most likely caused by improper connections of the Qube’s power wires to vehicle circuits. The installer may have connected the constant +12V wire or the ground wire from the Qube’s power harness to a switched source in vehicle. In some cases, the constant +12V and the ignition wires are connected in reverse.
