Installing the main unit

Installation notes

• Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater outlet.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf.
* Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.
• The installation strength will depend on the car model and the installation position.
Choose a position where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely.
If the main unit is not securely fastened, the errors in location display will be greater.
• Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places which
are subject to vibration.
• When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.
• Do not install the main unit anywhere that cargo or the like will get on it. Strong
mechanical shock to the main unit would increase the errors in location display.
• Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload-
ing of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc.
• Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed.
• Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within
five degrees to the left or right of your car's direction of travel). A surface tilted more
than this would increase the errors in location display.

• Do not install the main unit vertically. Installing it this way can cause it to function
improperly.
