5/10/04 BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION 1) Choose a Location Determine the best location to install the iLM unit.
PAGE 4
5/10/04 The iLM should be connected directly to a known 12V-DC power source (range of 10 to 24VDC), either the column harness or battery of the vehicle. Although the unit has a built-in self-resetting fuse, the iLM’s power cable must be fused protected at the power source on both the RED and WHITE power connections with the 3 amp fuses and fuse holders, included in the installation kit.

/10/04 4) Position GPS Antenna for Optimum Performance To ensure best reception, install the GPS antenna in a location that provides a clear sky view (greater than a 90 degree angle view of the sky). Note: Mount antenna as far as possible (at least 2 feet) away from other antennas to minimize the possibility of interference.

5/10/04 5) Connect GSM Antenna (if separate GSM antenna or non-combo antenna) The GSM antenna should be installed in an optimum location, to intercept the cellular signals, arriving at slightly above zero degrees from the horizon. Signals will typically penetrate through non-metal material such as glass, fiberglass, and aluminum. Please refer to the illustrations below. Note: Mount antenna as far as possible (at least 2 feet) away from other antennas to minimize the possibility of interference.
