Installation
Note:
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected
up properly, and the unit and the system work
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifications
of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s
way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a
sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot
— for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.
