When installing the device onto the vehicle, it is necessary to make sure that the direction of the device is
following the picture demonstrated in the below picture, in order to have the G-Sensor working properly for
harsh driving event detections. The forces on the axes are used to determine the harsh driving event status,
hence if the installation is not able to be like in the picture, it is suggested to use GPS for detection instead.
Note: when installing the device, the vehicle should be parked on a horizontal place (not tilted). The
device then should be installed parallel to the vehicle body and fixed with mounting bracket or double
side adhesive as shown to ensure the G-Sensor is functioning properly.

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 radiated 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 to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information
