8 VC6000 Series Vehicle ComputersMounting the VC6000 seriesGuidelines for Routing Cables• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or hot surfaces.• Fix the cable to an existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties.• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable cable guard.• When fixing a conduit or a cable on the outside of a vehicle, use P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the clip.• Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum recom-mended radius is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches).• Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often requires using cable ties approximately every one foot, and ensuring the cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the VC6000 series.• If you must re-position the VC6000 series occasionally, ensure there is enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without putting tension on the cable.• Take the power from as close to the battery terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wiring.• Ensure that all fuses are as close as possible to the power source.• Use plastic cable ties to secure the cables to the cable tie bracket of the VC6000.Cable Tie Bracket

12 VC6000 Series Vehicle ComputersMounting the Combination Antenna (VC6096 only)The Combination Antenna is an optional omni-directional WWAN and WLAN antenna used with the VC6096. The antenna mounts inside/outside the vehicle cabin or indoors/outdoors.The antenna has two external RF connectors that connect to the VC6096 via two low loss RF coax cables. Installation guidelines:1. For best performance, it is recommended to install the antenna out-side of the cabin. When installing the antenna in the vehicle cabin or indoors, keep a minimum distance of 70 cm (2.3 ft) between the antenna and the VC6000 series.2. The antenna should be directed vertically to the horizon to assure maximum expo-sure.3. To ensure best performance, the antenna should be mounted as far away as possible from walls, floors and metal contain-ing objects. Keep an obstacle free zone of 10 cm (3.9 inches) from walls, cabinets, air duct, metal-framed windows, doors etc.4. When mounting the antenna inside the vehicle, it is recommended to install the antenna at the top right hand side of the windshield.CAUTION To avoid damage to the VC6000 series, make sure to disconnect the power cable from the VC6000 series before connecting the antenna cable. When installing the antenna cable, make sure to connect the antenna side of the cable before connecting to the VC6000 series.WWAN CableWLAN CableM4 screw mounting bosses used for mounting bracketVehicle Windshieldor
Quick Reference Guide 13 Mounting the GPS Antenna (VC6096 only)The VC6096 is supplied with an internal module of Global Positioning System (GPS).Connect the cable connector of the GPS antenna to the GPS connector at the back of the VC6096.Installation guidelines:1. Recommended GPS antenna - Motorola part number 8508851K59.2. The GPS antenna must be mounted on the top of the dashboard or vehicle roof. For best performance, install the GPS antenna on the center-line of the vehicle roof.3. Keep a minimum distance of 40 cm (16 inches) between the Combi-nation antenna and the GPS antenna.4. The antenna is attached by a magnet to a flat metal surface (mini-mum 2.75 inches x 2.75 inches, 7 cm x 7 cm). Before mounting the GPS antenna on a dashboard, install a flat Metal Plate on the dash-board to hold the GPS antenna.5. The antenna should be directed parallel to the horizon to assure exposure to as many satellites as possible.6. If possible, the antenna location must not be obstructed by any structure or object. When mounting the antenna on a roof ensure at least 3” of clear space around it.WARNING!1. Keep a minimum lateral distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the driver/passenger and the antenna. Contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.2. To ensure safe driving, when mounting the Combination Antenna next to the windshield, do not block the driver’s field of view.CAUTION To avoid damage to the VC6000 series, make sure to disconnect the power cable from the VC6000 series before connecting the antenna cable.

Quick Reference Guide 23Vehicle InstallationRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your eyes from the road.Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or lights to flash, on receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.Safety on the RoadDo not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give full attention to driving. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:1. Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road. 2. When available, use a hands free device. 3. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if neces-sary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather condi-tions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
24 VC6000 Series Vehicle Computers4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then con-tinue. 5. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. 6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency ser-vices, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emer-gency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!. The call can be made regardless of any security codes and depend-ing on a network, with or without a SIM card inserted. 7. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assis-tance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic acci-dent where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be sto-len, call roadside assistance or other special nonemergency wireless number. “The wireless industry reminds you to use your device / phone safely when driving.”Warnings for Use of Wireless DevicesPlease observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.Potentially Hazardous AtmospheresYou are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders)
