Installation Guidelines

This guide outlines the process for installing the
IsatDock LITE in conjunction with an Inmarsat
IsatPhone Pro handset.
This kit must not be used with any other device
other than the Inmarsat IsatPhone Pro handset.
• Only qualified personnel should install
communication equipment. If necessary,
contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag
information specific to the vehicle.
• Ensure that the units are protected from
dirt and moisture.
• Select an area to mount components that
do not interfere with driver or passengers
seating or leg space.
• Ensure that each mounting surface is strong
enough to support the component being
mounted to prevent the component from
loosening over time.
• Mount all components securely to prevent
shifting that could cause injury or could
interfere with safe vehicle operation. Always
use the supplied mounting hardware.
• Leave space around the units to allow
cooling and ensure there are adequate
clearance for cables.
• Ensure the units can be easily removed.
Routing Cables
(for vehicle installations)
• Route cables so they are protected from
pinching, sharp edges, and crushing.
WARNING
Air bags inflate with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including communication equipment,
in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
• Where possible, avoid routing cables above
the catalytic converter.
• Use grommets wherever a cable must pass
through a hole in a metal panel
• In a vehicle equipped with electronically
controlled anti-skid brakes, route all cables
on the opposite side of the vehicle from the
braking modulator box to minimize possible
interference from the phone.
• Keep all in-line connectors accessible.
• The suggested path for routing cables in
vehicles without wiring troughs is alongside
the drive shaft hump, under the carpet.

Guidelines for Electrical Connections

The system is designed to operate in negative
ground 10 to 32 Volt DC electrical systems only.
If using the DC cable lead:
• The best power connection point for
the positive primary power leads is the
positive terminal of the vehicle battery.
Often, direct connection to the battery is
inconvenient, and you may find it easier
to connect the positive leads to the
starter solenoid. Always select a point
as close as possible to the battery.
• Connect the negative primary power leads to
a good ground point on the vehicle chassis or
at the battery. If you must attach the negative
primary power lead(s) directly to the negative
pole of the battery, you may optionally insert
a 10-amp fuse (not included) into the ground
(0V) line. Failure to insert a fuse can cause
equipment to overheat IF a wiring fault exists.
• Many parts of a vehicle can produce
electrical noise that interferes with the
electrical radio system operation. The
ignition system is the most common source
of electrical noise interference. Before you
begin installation, ensure that the ignition
wiring and connections to the vehicle
battery are in good working condition.
