close to hot area to prevent damage to
electrical components such as the laser
head.
5. Install the unit horizontally. Installing the
unit more than 30 degree vertically may
result in worse performance.
6. To prevent electric spark, connect the
positive pole first and then the negative
pole.
Unit Installation
1. When installing the main unit in NISSAN
vehicles, use the parts attached to the unit
(see “ NISSAN”). When installing the
main unit in TOYOTA vehicles, use the
