3 Preparing for Installation
The following section explains the pre-installation steps you should perform before
installing the CR unit.
3.1 Pre-Installation Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
- You must be a certified technician and qualified to install the Cellocator unit.
- Please make sure you have the correct documentation for the devices you install. The
devices and documentation change frequently, which may impact the installation
procedures.
- Make sure you know the installation procedures and restrictions of the vehicle; consult
with the dealer or manufacturer to get any specific instructions. These may refer to
locations in the vehicle where you can install the device, connections to the electrical
system, use of fuses, etc. Not following these instructions and restrictions may create
false alarms and malfunctions in the vehicle systems and may even void the vehicle
warranty.
- Modern vehicles have many computerized systems that may be sensitive to radio
transmissions from the device you install and may also generate interferences to the
device. Carefully read the manufacturer’s instructions and restrictions regarding these
systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 Safety
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING:
- Use protective goggles during the installation.
- Disconnect the vehicle battery during installation. Working on live wires can be
dangerous and can, for example, result in airbags inflating or fuses burning out. Some
devices (e.g. the radio) may require reprogramming after a power disconnect.
- Do not install any wires (except the fuel sensor wires) near the fuel system or fuel
pipes. Make sure you never work near the fuel system with the battery connected.
- Installation in vehicles with computerized systems may have unexpected results.
Please consult with your local car dealer before performing any vehicle OEM invasive
installation.
- Do not disconnect any connectors in the vehicle while the ignition switch is turned on.
This may result in damage to sensitive vehicle subsystems.
- Use special care when handling the backup battery of the Cellocator unit. Refer to
Battery Handling Procedure for Cellocator Units for details.
- Review the important safety notes in section 5.3 Harness Power Installation
Specifications.
