WARNING: Do not attempt to install, reconfigure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or
otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely
parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious
personal injury.
WARNING: If at any point after a Geotab in-vehicle device is installed, a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the
vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact Geotab support.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove Geotab in-vehicle devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for
installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles are compatible with Geotab in-vehicle devices, and doing so may result in
unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in
operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically.
WARNING: All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls,
including gas, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure all devices and
cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in
unanticipated acceleration, braking or other loss of vehicle control, which could lead to death or serious personal injury.
Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which
may cause injury.
CAUTION: Geotab products do not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing, and repairs must only be
made by an authorized Geotab reseller or installer. Unauthorized servicing of Geotab products will void your product warranty.
Improper installation may also lead to short circuits and the risk of fire, leading to personal injury or significant damage to
your vehicle. Installation or servicing may also require modifications to your vehicle. Failure to comply with specified
procedures or without adequate knowledge of the vehicle may result in damage to your vehicle, which may cause
malfunctions of vehicle controls or vehicular environmental systems and result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Geotab in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to
do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting, causing a fire hazard.
