• Insert the Octo OBD device into the free socket at the end of the cable (C) and fix with double sided adhesive (included in the kit) the device in a hidden location, taking care to avoid to fix it on plastic parts of the vehicle (subject to autonomous vibrations) and prefer metallic parts which are structural and chassis part of the vehicle (since the accelerometer is internal).
• Take care to fix it carefully in a way in which it cannot detach and create danger for the drive.
• Pay attention not to shield the GPS antenna side of the device (the cap of the device, opposite to the plug, where is the LED)

Splitter “Y” cable:

• Insert the plug (A) into the OBD port of the vehicle.

• Fix the free socket (B) near the original OBD port of the vehicle, in a secure way to allow it to remain in site and be used for diagnosis. Insert the Octo OBD device into the free socket at the end of the cable (C) and fix with double sided adhesive (included in the kit) the device in a hidden location, taking care to avoid to fix it on plastic parts of the vehicle (subject to autonomous vibrations) and prefer metallic parts which are structural and chassis part of the vehicle (since the accelerometer is internal).

• Take care to fix it carefully in a way in which it cannot detach and create danger for the drive.

• Pay attention not to shield the GPS antenna side of the device (the cap of the device, opposite to the plug, where is the LED)

• The cables must in both cases be routed and secured in a way in which they do not disturb the driver and must be hidden.

• The double adhesive must be used in an environment which temperature is not below 21°C or above 38°C.
  Before applying the double adhesive clean the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, the press the device on its location for at least 1 minute to ensure the fixation.
