Page 2 Installing and Testing the DriveCam Event Recorder
Buses and Large Trucks
Larger vehicles often have non-standard windshields and mirrors. In these cases, the event recorder is
usually mounted as low on the windshield as possible but just above a horizontal line drawn from the top
of the head of the tallest drivers when seated behind the wheel. A common mistake is to mount units too
high on the windshield, which keeps the driver out of view, causes a loss of vision in the front of the
vehicle, and pushes the DriveCam’s accelerometers farther away from the vehicle’s center of mass.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or locate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
We recommend that you carefully plan and test the installation before making final connections in the
vehicle. Read the instructions carefully to ensure proper function of the event recorder.
NOTE: The following installation procedures apply directly to most sedans, pickups, and
light-duty trucks. However, they are similar enough to be used for all vehicle
installations. Be sure to follow the guidelines outlined on the previous page.
