SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
A properly installed Vehicular Charger/Holder Kit minimizes service
calls. When mounting the components of the Vehicular Charger/
Holder Kit, consider the following factors:
• The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support
the item being mounted to prevent it from becoming loose over
time.
• DO NOT attach components to any part of the vehicle that is
subject to excessive vibration.
• The proposed location of the item being mounted or wires/cables
attached must not interfere with driver/passenger seating or leg
space.
• Use the supplied mounting hardware.
• Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subject to heat
from the engine, transmission housing or heating ducts.
• Crimp connectors securely.
• DO NOT run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive
wear or chaffing of the cable insulation.
• DO NOT install components in locations where they may cause
interference to the operation of the vehicle's controls.
Check the required mounting locations. Modern cars are equipped
with power supply connections for mobile phone inside the
passengers cabin. It is preferable to connect the power cable to
these connections.
On some vehicles, it is necessary to penetrate the bulkhead to reach
the battery. Ensure that there is cable clearance on the opposite side
of the bulkhead and that vehicle’s Electronic Control Modules
(ECM’s) are not installed on the opposite side of the bulkhead before
drilling commences. Protect the cable where it passes through the
bulkhead by using a grommet or similar protective measures.

existing opening or, if necessary, drill a 2 cm (26/32 inch)
diameter hole through the bulkhead. Insert a grommet into the
hole to prevent damage to the power cable. The red and black
leads should be inserted one by one into the hole.
2. Cut the black lead to the desired length and connect it to the
chassis of the vehicle. Verify that the fuse is at a distance of 20
to 30 cm away from the connection point.
3. On the engine side of the bulkhead, connect the red (A+) lead to
the vehicle’s battery as follows:
a. Cut the long red lead to the desired length, strip the edge and
crimp a terminal lug (not included) to the lead. Verify that the
fuse is at a distance of 20 to 30 cm away from the connection
point.
b. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal on the
vehicle’s battery. Cable tie the wire every 10 cm (4 inches)
