Installation Instructions
If you are unsure of any step of this process, please call our Customer Care service at 1-866-276-
5382. This package includes the following components: One device, One RF antenna, One GPS
antenna, One power cable; Two starter-interrupt cables. (Cut-off model only)
Installation notes
• To be installed only inside vehicle cabin.
• GPS antenna must be mounted so that no metal is impeding sky-view, rounded side up.
• GSM antenna is best located on a non metallic area.
• See all the warnings and notes on page 1 and 2 before installation.
• No power should be applied to unit if antennas are not connected.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Locate a constant power source and a good ground (ignition off). Locate the
starter wire if installing a cut-off device. The starter wire only has power when
cranking.
2) Disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system from this point forward to
avoid possible damage due to shorting of exposed wire.
The unit must never be powered up without the antennas connected.
3) Ground the black wire of the power cable assembly to the vehicle’s frame.
If installing a locate only device, jump to step 5
4) Cut the starter wire and connect the starter-interrupt cables to each end of the
starter wire. Plug in the “Quick-Release” connectors from the starter-interrupt
cables to the device.
Make sure all connections are soldered and well insulated.
Note: all components of the device (GPS/RF antennas) should be installed
behind the dashboard
5) Install the RF antenna on a flat surface, ensuring that the sticker has good
contact. For best results, install in a vertical position six inches away from any
metal.
6) Plug the RF antenna to the device’s purple connector. Antennas are keyed so as
to prevent reversing of the antennas.
7) Install the GPS antenna in the vehicle. Choose a location where it has NO METAL
impeding its view of the sky. Plug the GPS antenna to the device’s blue connector.
8) Connect the red power cable to the constant power source and install the device
in the vehicle.
When connecting or disconnecting either antenna from the device, make sure to
remove the power cable first. Severe damage to the unit may result otherwise
9) Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.
10) Park the vehicle outside, away from trees or tall buildings. Verify the installation
was a success by performing a “Location” command from your account.
