WARNING
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use auto-
motive grade wires or other wires with a
diameter of Xmm (AWG 16) or more to
prevent wire deterioration and damage to
the wire coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or
leave any metallic objects (such as coins or
metal tools) inside the unit.
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or
strange smells, disconnect immediately and
consult the Autonet Mobile Customer
Service Center.
• Do not touch the In-Car Router during
use because the surface of the unit be-
comes hot and may cause burns if touched.
• Mounting and wiring this product re-
quires skills and experience. For safety’s
sake, leave the mounting and wiring work
to professionals.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the In-Car Router,
take the following precautions:
• Be sure the In-Car Router is connected
to a 12v DC power supply with a negative
ground connection.
• Do not open the bottom covers of the
In-Car Router.
• Do not install the In-Car Router in a spot
exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat
or humidity. Also avoid places with too much
dust or the possibility of water splashing.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new
one with the prescribed rating. Using a
fuse with the wrong rating may cause your
unit to malfunction.
• To prevent a short circuit when replacing
a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
NOTE
• If you experience problems during instal-
lation, consult the Autonet Mobile Cus-
tomer Service Center.
• If the In-Car Router does not seem to be
working right, consult the Autonet Mobile
Customer Service Center.
Wiring
• Take the power wire for the In-Car
Router directly from the ignition power
source. If it’s connected to the vehicles
wiring harness, it can cause blown fuses,
etc. If it is connected directly to the cars
battery it can deplete the battery.
• Do not allow the wire to directly contact
the edge of the iron plate by using grom-
mets.
• Connect the ground wire to a metal part
of the car chassis that acts as an electrical
ground passing electricity to the battery’s
negative terminal. Do not turn the power
on if the ground wire is not connected.
• Be sure to install the protective fuse in
the power cord.
• For the power cord and ground, use a
vehicle type (fireproof) power wiring cord
with a current capacity greater then the
units fuse capacity. Use a power cord with
a diameter 8mm (AWG 8) or greater.
Cleaning the In-Car Router
If the In-Car Router becomes dirty, turn
off the power and wipe the panel with a
dry silicone cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the In-Car Router with a hard
cloth or a cloth dampened by volatile sol-
vents such as paint thinner and alcohol.
They can scratch the surface of the In-Car
Router and/or cause the sealant to peel off.
To prevent the battery from draining
please refrain from leaving the key in the
ACC on position. This powers the In-Car
Router up and could possibly deplete the
battery.
The Autonet Mobile installation instructions must be followed to minimize
potential interference with other electronics on the vehicle.
