EZ-Guide Plus Lightbar Guidance System Getting Started Guide

Using the vehicle cigarette lighter

If the power cable is plugged into a cigarette lighter that is not wired through the
vehicle ignition, the lightbar receives power whenever the cable is plugged in. To avoid
draining the vehicle battery, turn off or disconnect the lightbar from the power source
if the vehicle will be unused for an extended time.

Minimizing GPS signal interference

To minimize any interference to the GPS signal, make sure that the GPS antenna is at
least 1 m (3 ft) from any other antenna (including a radio antenna), and at least
100 m (300 ft) from any power line, radar dish, or cell phone tower.

Connecting to other devices

To use the remote control or an external GPS receiver or an external sensor (for
example, yield monitor), attach it directly to the lightbar data port connector.

To use the remote control and an external
receiver or sensor, connect them using
the optional external interface cable.

Note — You cannot connect an external
GPS receiver and external sensor at the
same time.

To connect a spray switch or device to
receive speed pulse outputs, use the
optional external interface cable
