Guidelines 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.

Vehicle Installation
RF 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 Road
Do 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 Computers
4. 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,
