Installation
Instructions:
1.
Position
your
device
in
its
desired
location
on
the
windshield,
ensuring
that
it
does
not
obstruct
your
view
of
the
road
ahead.
Consult
your
vehicle's
manual
to
locate
your
fuse
panel.
Run
the
hardwire
kit
from
your
device,
up
and
around
the
windshield,
and
to
your
fuse
box.
Generally
you'll

to
position
the

kit
so
that
excess
cable
can
be
coiled
near
the
fuse
box
side.
Note:
The

is
not
designed
to
withstand
the
harsh
environment
under
the
hood
of
your
vehicle
and
should
not
be
installed
there.

You
need
to
decide
whether
you
want
your
device
wired
to
a
switched
or
un-switched
fuse
.
Switched
circuits
only
have
power
when
the
vehicle
is
ON.
Un-switched
circuits
always
have
power.
