Power Cable/Ground Wire (PIN1,PIN2)
Connect the power cable (red) and ground wire (black) to the positive and negative electrodes of the vehicle battery
respectively.
Power (PIN1,PIN2) and ACC wiring (PIN7)
Alternatively, you may wire the power +12V (Red) to the barrel of the key switch provided you are careful
to not damage existing wiring or leave exposed wire that could cause a short circuit.
Note: If input 3 is connected to ACC and the engine is started, ON-OFF-ON conversion occurs. If input 3 is connected to Start and
the engine is started, OFF-ON-OFF conversion occurs. If the device is installed correctly and the engine is started, OFF-ON
conversion occurs.
6.2 Installing GPS and 4GAntennas
Connect the 4G antenna to the SMA connector which is labeled "GSM". The 4G antenna is non-directional, so you can hide it in
any place of a vehicle.
Connect the GPS antenna to the connector which is labeled "GPS". It is recommended that the antenna is facing up to the sky
and the antenna side with words is downwards. Secure the antenna with double sidedtape.
Note: Do not install the GPS antenna in any position covered by metal.
6.3 Mounting the ST5
Tighten the four screws shown in the followingfigure.
