2.5 CONNECTING POWER
For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected
to a fused circuit on the vehicle. This fused circuit requires a 5 Amp
maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply
connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in
the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery positive (+) terminal.
CAUTION
For installation by trained service personnel only
CAUTION
Risk of ignition or explosion. Explosive gas mixture may be vented from
battery. Work only in well-ventilated area. Avoid creating arcs and sparks at
battery terminals.

Correct electrical polarity is required for safe and proper installation.
Connecting the cable to the Rhino-NET™ with the polarity reversed will
cause the Rhino-NET™'s fuse to be blown. See the following Wire Color
table.
NOTE
The procedure is the following:
1. Turn the Rhino-NET™ power switch off before attaching the power plug.
2. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable as
close as possible to the actual battery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always
connect to unswitched terminals in the vehicle fuse panel, after providing proper fusing.
