FCC and IC Compliance Statements1.

FCC Part 15 Class A1.1

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.•

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause•undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Modifications:AnymodificationsmadetothisdevicethatarenotapprovedbyVGISolutionsmayvoidtheauthoritygranted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.

AFDD Unit Physical Installation3.

Standard Installation3.1

The AFDD box must be installed inside the vehicle, in a place not directly exposed to the sun. It must be securely fixedtoavoidinjuryincaseofvehiclesuddenstop.

Dead Reckoning Installation 3.2

AFDD units with the dead reckoning option are equiped with an electronic direction sensor. It is therefore essential thattheunitbemountedhorizontally.Theunitshouldbefirmlyfixedtothevehicleinordertoproperlysensethechanges of direction of the vehicle.


Antennas Installation4.The AFDD unit uses 2 external antennas. Both antennas must be properly installed in order to optimized the operation.

Antennas are magnet mounted and must be placed on the rooftop of the vehicle.

RF Leakage Detection Antenna4.1

RF leakage detection antenna must be placed as clear as possible of large metal obstacles.

GPS Patch Antenna4.2

TheGPSantennamustbeplacedinordertomaximizeskyvisibility.TheGPSantenna must have full view of the sky ensuring a direct line-of-sight with as many visible satellites as possible.

The position of the speed detection circuit and the position of the reverse signal vary depending on the vehicle model. For details, consult your authorized dealer or an installation professional.


CAUTION

Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that it could injure the driver•or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.

Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that it may interfere with the•driver’soperationofthevehicle,suchasonthefloorinfrontofthedriver’sseat,orclose to the steering wheel or shift lever.

Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or paneling when drilling holes•in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines, electronic components,communication wires or power cables.

When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electrical lead.•Vibrationmaydamagewiresorinsulation,leadingtoashortcircuitorotherdamagetothe vehicle.

Toensureproperinstallation,usethesuppliedpartsinthemannerspecified.Ifany•parts other than the upplied ones are used, they may damage internal parts of thisproduct or they may work loose and the product may become detached.

It is extremely dangerous to allow the cables to become wound around the steering•column or shift lever. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring away insuch a way that they will not obstruct or inder driving.

Make sure that leads cannot get caught in a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,•resulting in a short circuit.

Pleaseconfirmtheproperfunctionofyourvehicle’sotherequipmentfollowing•installation of the navigation system.

Do not install this system where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the•performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, includingairbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate thevehicle.

Never install the system in front of or next to the place in the dash, door, or pillar•from which one of your vehicle’s airbags would deploy. Please refer to your vehicle’sowner’s manual for reference to the deployment area of the frontal airbags.

Do not install the system in a place where it will impair the performance of any of the•vehicle’s perating systems, including airbags and headrests.
