One preferred method is to affix the device to the top of the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel (this
provides ready access to the driver side door jam for inconspicuous wiring). The antenna cable may then be
tucked up the left side of the windshield and over to the location of the rear-view mirror. Then the antenna can
be affixed to the inside surface of the windshield; placed horizontally behind the mirror so as to “hide” the
antenna from the driver’s view. Any good, commercially available, means for attaching the equipment may be
used (e.g., via adhesive or other method).

The connection sequence is critical for proper operation ONLY if the Red feed is connected directly to
the battery. The unit is designed to “sense” a steady state condition upon power-up and activates the
warning lights when the steady state is changed; hence the importance of installation sequencing and
ensuring that the power is the final connection.
