Installation

This installation manual has been prepared to provide the basic information needed to
install the Carcomm Navigation Cradle. This manual is not intended to be definitive,
because there are different models and types of vehicles which will require different
installation work. The information given is for general guidance only.

The terms of warranty demand that this mobile navigation cradle is installed by an
experienced installer. An end-user should never attempt to install this mobile
navigation cradle without professional assistance as the installation requires special
tools and knowledge.

Note: Thoroughly read the manual before beginning the installation procedure.

1. Ensure that the vehicle’s battery is disconnected before you start the installation

procedure and that it remains disconnected during the procedure.

2. Do not smoke or use open flames when working near the vehicle’s fuel system.
3. Ensure that the vehicle’s electrical cables, hydraulic lines, fuel lines and safety

equipment are not damaged during the installation.

4. Ensure that normal control and operation of the vehicle is not obstructed by the

installation, particularly the brakes and steering. Ensure that airbag operation is not
obstructed.

5. Electronic and other sophisticated systems (for example speed control, ABS anti-lock

brake, fuel injection-, navigation- and airbag systems) are relatively immune to
malfunction. However, should you experience false operation of these systems or are
in any doubt whatsoever as to their functionality, please consult the vehicle’s dealer.

6. The mobile navigation cradle is suitable for use only in vehicles with 12 / 24V, negative

grounding. Use on other supply voltages or alternative polarity will damage the
equipment.

7. The TomTom should not be left switched on for extended periods without running

the vehicle’s engine. Failure to comply could drain the vehicle’s battery.

Before starting the installation of the Mobile Navigation Cradle please check if the
following contents are present :

- Carcomm Navigation Cradle - Rotating Swivel - Fuse
- Screw sets - Manual

1. Mount the rotating swivel against a flat surface on the dashboard or a vehicle specific

mount like a Carcomm Safety-Mount, Dashmount or other mounts. Use the included
self-tapping screws for this. Use the template on the right to mark up the holes if this
is necessary.

2. Mount the navigation cradle against the rotating swivel using the included nuts and bolts.
3. To adjust the angle of the cradle while using the rotating swivel you can use the

big screw in the middle of the swivel by accessing it via the hole in the middle of
the cradle.

4. Connect the RED wire to the ignition controlled 12V /24V power supply of the vehicle

using the included in-line fuse.
