It is recommended that only certified automotive installation technicians install this product in a vehicle. Installation by any other person is at the risk of the vehicle owner and operator. Section # 4 Installation Selecting a Suitable Location To Mount The Signal Amplifier Locate a suitable place to mount and conceal the signal amplifier. Suggested mounting locations include: under the dashboard, under the seat, or in the console area. For peak performance the signal amplifier should be mounted as close to the phone handset as possible. The amplifier’s location should be easily accessible and mounted away from moving parts, as well as excessive heat and moisture.

Section # 5 Installation Cautions ∇ Use caution to avoid drilling through or near fuel lines or fuel tanks; brake lines; or electrical wiring. ∇ Do not mount the signal amplifier or its associated wiring in a location that may interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. ∇ If the fuse is changed from the 3 amps to a higher rating the warranty is void. Purchaser of the amplifier would be responsible for the repair of the unit. ∇ Caution: Connection to the negative side with the positive lead will cause damage to the amplifier. Section # 6 Installation Of The Signal Amplifier To meet the FCC Exposure Guidelines, the antenna should be installed so there is at least 20 cm of separation between the body of the user or nearby persons and the antenna. Typical Installation For Under The Seat Mounting 1. For safety, disconnect the vessel’s negative “−“ battery terminal to remove power from the vehicle. 2. Drill holes or Velcro tape and mount the signal amplifier (ITEM 1) in the selected location. 3. Connect the coloured striped black/white or red wire of the supplied 2 Meter (78”) fused power cable (ITEM 2) for the signal amplifier to a positive connection on the vehicle’s electrical system. Choose a 10 to 30 Volt DC circuit that is: fuse or circuit breaker protected; and ignition switched. (Often referred to as the “Accessory output”) 4. Attach the solid black wire of the supplied 2 Meter (78”) power cable (ITEM 2) to a vehicle electrical ground point. 5. Attach an external antenna cable (7dbi max) to the amplifier's input connector. The output connector on the amplifier is connected to a cellular phone handset via a RF cradle or an RF cable. The phone must be connected to the amplifier with a proper RF adapter cable. 6. Reconnect the vessel’s negative “−“ Battery terminal.
