IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Unit must be installed with the writing side of the module facing up. Failure to do so will result in
poor GPS positioning. (It is advised to secure the module in place AFTER your wiring is complete and
you have turned the device on to test that it's working. To do this you need to see the indication LEDS
on the device)
After wiring is complete, a suitable location should be sought that has an unobstructed view of the sky
from a metal perspective. ie. The unit should be placed out of sight but not behind any metal objects
that could shade the GPS and cellular transceivers view of the sky above it. Large wiring looms are
metal objects so if you are securing the unit to a harness, you must secure it on top of the harness, not
underneath.
A location behind the dash well out of reach as close to the side skin of the top of the dashboard is
ideal.
This unit has a 3D gyroscope/accelerometer system that needs to be calibrated after installation (The
unit can take between 20 min to 2Hrs of driving to calibrate fully depending on your driving habits and
where you are driving. Essentially the unit needs to experience acceleration, deceleration and change in
direction at differing speeds.) Please note that gyro-based feature accuracy depends on this calibration
being complete such as accident detection, tow detection and driver behaviour). The unit's orientation
does not need to be perfectly flat, however the flatter the unit's orientation the better it will work.
