Install the speaker on the side of the central console, ideally alongside the legs
of the passenger sitting beside the driver, as far as possible from the microphone.
Thread the speaker cable under the carpet along the floor of the vehicle.
Plug the speaker cable into the compatible connection in the octopus control cable.
Verify that the cable does not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle
and/or its components.
Do not conceal the speaker behind any obstacle such as dashboard, carpet or
any other barrier which will result in bad audio quality.
Attention! The speaker and microphone (which is fitted on the sun visor above the
driver) should be pointed towards opposite directions to avoid echo. speaker slots
should be pointed towards passenger door.

Antenna
When installing the fixed mobile car phone avoid positioning the head control unit
where it may disrupt the proper operation of the vehicle and/or its components, such
as car stereo, air bags, cubbyhole, glove compartment, ashtray, lighter, gear stick,
hand brake, etc....
Attach the fixed mobile car phone on a stable surface, in a position that is safe and
convenient for the driver to use.
Special warning: Do not position the head control unit in front of the air bag or
where it may impair air bag performance, as the air bag might inflate in an accident
and cause damage.
Verify that the control unit does not face the sun or source of humidity, such as air
conditioner vents.

Microphone
Install the microphone at a distance of no
more than 30 cm (12 inch) away from the
driver's mouth, ideally on the upper right hand
side of the sun visor and away from any noise
source such as windscreens, window, fan/air
conditioner, car stereo etc.
Make sure the microphone is at a distance of
at least 1.5m (4.9 ft) from the speaker and is
not directed towards the speaker.
Make sure that the microphone is correctly
positioned. See picture below for microphone
position.
Do not thread the microphone cable close to antenna cable, to avoid audio interference.
Plug the microphone cable into the compatible connection in the octopus control
cable.
Important: Make sure that the microphone cable does not come in contact and
does not interfere with the steering wheel and/or the pedals of the vehicle.
Attention! The speaker and microphone (which is fitted on the sun visor above the

Antenna Installation

The preferred position for the antenna is on the upper right side of the windshield
Should another cellular device already be installed in the vehicle, the antenna should
be located as far as possible from the antenna of the second cellular device.
Remember: In certain car models (such as "Renault Megane" and "Renault Kangoo"),
the anterior windshield has a radiation filter, and therefore it is necessary to paste
the antenna in the side or rear windshield only.
Attention! Do not thread the antenna cable close to the microphone cable to avoid
audio interference.
Use original antenna plug and clamping tools only.
Test antenna and cable performance using a VSWR meter.
Note: In certain M800 models there is a GPS connection to be used with 4V external
active GPS antenna for navigation services.
