First, use an X-ACTO knife to slice off 2 of the 3 tabs in order to remove the knock-out panel. 2. Use enclosed alcohol preparation pad to clean the inside windshield where the antenna is to be placed.
Verifying Successful Installation 1. Start the vehicle’ s engine. All lights (Red, Yellow, and Green) on the device should turn on solid for 15 seconds and then begin blinking rapidly (twice a second). 2. The device is operating normally when the rapid blinking ceases and the Green and Yellow lights begin to blink in a slow pattern (ON for 5 seconds and OFF for 1 second).
Creating Tamper Evidence Once the vehicle harness is plugged in, slide the zip ties through the two slots provided on the harness connector. Once the zip ties are in place, tighten and remove the excess plastic. If possible, position the zip ties so that the “DO NOT REMOVE” message is showing.
Completing Installation Before securing the device under the dashboard, make sure that you have recorded the VIN, hardware serial number, and odometer reading on the registration form. Also verify that you have checked the light indicators. vehicle registration form Time of Install______________________________Date __________________________ Serial # (10 digit number usually located on back of device) Vehicle Label____________________________________________________________...
Securing the Device Use zip ties to fasten the hardware securely to a stable bracket or wire bundle under the dash. IMPORTANT: The device must be installed high in the dashboard area and secured with the top of the unit facing the sky (the side of the unit with the manufacturer logo). Also verify that the device is not covered by metal and check that the green LED is blinking in a slow pattern, which verifies that the unit is getting GPS data (as explained on page 13).
Appendix: Troubleshooting Light Indicators Issue: Red light continues to blink rapidly Solution: - Verify that the unit is not surrounded by metal. - Contact Customer Care to confirm network coverage availability and the SIM is active. Issue: Yellow light continues to blink rapidly Solution: - Contact Customer Care to verify engine computer compatibility.
A: No. Q: When installing the 3600 device, are fuses involved or can the device be “wired hot”? A: We recommend splicing the 3600 harness to fused leads, though the device can be “wired hot” since there is an internal re-settable fuse. An in line fuse is not necessary, however if one is used, it should be at least 5 amps.
