Hands‐freeInstallation

Beforebeginningtheinstallationprocess,determinethebestlocationsfor
themountingoftheMountingBracket,Hand‐freeCradle,Push‐To‐Talk
(PTT)button,VisorMicrophone,SpeakerandJunctionBox.

Considerthefollowingguidelinewhenplanningtheinstallation:
DOuseallmountinghardwareprovided.
DOensurethatcablesarenotplacedunderstress.
DOfollowproper+and‐connections.
DOcrimpconnectorssecurely.
DONOTattachcomponentstoanypartoftheCarthatisnotrigid
orissubjecttoexcessivevibration.
DONOTinstallcomponentsinareaswhererainorsnowcaneasily
getintothem,suchasnexttoaCarwindow,whichmaybeleft
open.
DONOTdresscablesoversharpedgesthatcouldcausewearor
tearingofcableinsulation.
DONOTinstallcomponentsinlocationswheretheymight
interferewiththeCaroperatororoperatingcontrols.
DONOTinstalltheHands‐freeCradlewhereitwillbedifficultfor
theoperatortoreach.

!WARNING
CARSEQUIPPEDWITHAIRBAGS
Anairbaginflateswithgreatforce.DONOTplaceobjects,including
communicationsequipment,intheareaovertheairbagorintheairbag
deploymentarea.Ifthecommunicationequipmentisimproperlyinstalled
andtheairbaginflates,thiscouldcauseseriousinjury.

ItisrecommendedthattheinstallationoftheCarcommunication
equipmentbeperformedbyaprofessionalinstaller/techniciantrainedin
therequirementsforsuchinstallations.Anairbag'ssize,shapeand
deploymentareacanvarybyCarmake,model,andfrontcompartment
configuration(forexample,benchseatvs.bucketseats).Contactthecar
manufacturer'scorporateheadquarters,ifnecessary,forspecificairbag
informationforthecarmake,model,andfrontcompartmentconfiguration
involvedinyourcommunicationequipmentinstallation.


2.TheSpeakershouldbelocatedmorethanfourfeetfromthejunction
box.
3.TheSpeakerincludesamountingbracket,permittingittobemounted
inavarietyofways.Loosenthethumbscrewsonthesideofthespeaker
andusingthemountingbracketasatemplate,drillthenecessary
mountingholesandsecurethebracketwiththeself‐tappingscrews
provided.

tighteningthethumbscrews.Themountingbracketisusedto
permanentlymounttheSpeakerinplacewhilepermittingittobetilted
toadesiredangle.
5.Feedthecableoutofsighttothelocationwhereyouintendtomount
thejunctionbox.
6.Thespeakershouldbelocatedatleast3ft(1m)fromthevisor
microphone.Avoidplacingthespeakerwhereitfacesthevisor
microphone.

B.MicrophoneInstallation
1.TheMicrophonesuppliedhasnoisecancellationfeaturesandassuch
theselectionofthecorrectpositionforthemicrophoneisvitalforthe
successfulperformanceoftheCarKit.
2.TheMicrophoneshouldbemountedeitheronthesunvisordirectly
aboveandfacingthedriver,orontheheadlinerjustaboveandfacingthe

D.InstallingthePowerCable
Caution!TheCarkitshouldbeusedwithanegativegroundelectrical
systemonly.Reversepolarity(positiveground)willtriggerprotection
circuitswhichcausethecablefusetoopen.Checkthegroundpolarity
beforeyoubegintheinstallationtopreventwastedtimeandeffort.12V
DCor24VDCautomotivesystemsaredirectlysupported.Determinethe
bestcableroutetotheCarignitionforthePowerCablefromthelocation
