Vehicle Equipment Installation Instructions 11
5 Installation
This section describes the installation of the
Opticom™ GPS System vehicle equipment.
Please read and fully understand the following
paragraphs before starting the installation.
Before cutting or drilling any openings in the
vehicle or lightbar, draw a diagram showing
placement, measurements, and dimensions.
Use the diagram to avoid drilling or cutting
holes in undesirable locations.
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations for modification,
alteration, and installation or connection of
accessories or equipment to the vehicle and
lightbar.
Installation on specialty vehicles (such as
motorcycles, parking enforcement, utility
and special maintenance vehicles) requires
particular care and attention to details.
Do not mount the radio/GPS antenna within
18 inches of any other radio antenna. Follow
the installation instructions to avoid possible
radio frequency interference problems.
The radio/GPS unit is not watertight;
therefore it should be mounted inside the
passenger compartment or some other
protected area of the vehicle.
Never operate the equipment with the
antenna cables disconnected or the
equipment may be damaged.
The radio/GPS antenna should be mounted level
and as high on the vehicle as possible. The
radio/GPS antenna should have an unobstructed
view of at least 50% of the sky.
The radio/GPS antenna must not be
obstructed by light bars, speakers, antennas,
or other devices especially towards the front
of the vehicle.
Wires that are routed under carpets or mats
should be run between the pad and the
carpet. This will minimize abrasion and heat
damage from catalytic converters.
Protect cables with armor or sheathing when
they are routed around sharp corners and
edges. Avoid routing cables through potential
pinch points. Clamp or tie all cables in place.
Route and secure cables well away from
moving parts.
Do not paint the radio/GPS antenna cover.
Metals or metal oxides in the paint may
interfere with GPS reception and/or radio
reception and transmission.
Do not modify the radio/GPS unit circuitry.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Modifying the radio/GPS unit may seriously
damage the equipment and void the warranty.
Do not attempt to modify the radio/GPS
circuitry in any way. Modifying the radio and/or
antenna in any way may cause the radio to
violate FCC/IC requirements.
REMARQUE IMPORTANTE
La modification du système radio/GPS risque
d’endommager sérieusement le matériel et d’annuler
la garantie. Ne pas tenter de modifier les circuits du
système radio/GPS de quelque façon que ce soit. En
modifiant le système radio et/ou l’antenne de quelque
façon que ce soit, la radio risque de ne plus répondre
aux exigences de la FCC/IC.
