Warning

• The TP2 system has no user-serviceable parts. The TP2 contains a permanent lithium coin cell for maintaining the real time clock, and a 1000mAh internal rechargeable lithium-polymer battery as a backup supply to the unit; proper recycling or disposal per local law is required for all components of the TP2.
• The internal battery was designed to provide power to the TP2 during theft. The internal battery is in a non-operational mode and does not discharge as long as the external power to the unit is valid. The internal battery keeps the device alive to send relevant information like location through the cellular network during a theft scenario when the external power to the device is cut. Caution must be taken when the battery discharges at 70°C due to the risk of the battery swelling.

Installation Planning

Safety, Reliability, and Accessibility

• Use eye protection when using a drill/performing work that may be hazardous to the eyes.
• Use ear protection in noisy work areas.
• Wear appropriate clothing/uniforms and safety shoes.
• Maintain three points of contact when climbing in and out of cab.
• Make sure you know what is behind the area before you drill.
• Install equipment so it will not cause damage to the vehicle or work loose over time.
• Make sure there are no loose components/cables and no unsecured components.
• Use solid mounting surfaces.
• Route all cables away from hot or abrasive areas.
• Choose installation locations where components can be easily serviced.
• Choose installation locations where components are safe from tampering and damage

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Do not locate the product where it obstructs the driver’s field of vision, distracts the driver from the driving task, interferes with the driver’s operation of controls or displays, or creates a safety hazard. Follow all laws and regulations governing the placement of equipment and mounts.

DO locate the product where:

• it can be safely installed on a secured bracket that is robust enough to minimize any vibration and sustain the weight of the product.
• the mounting surface is strong enough to support the mounting hardware.
• the mounting surface is flat.
• it does not block the view of the road or mirrors.
• the surrounding area is clear of dash controls and gauges.
• it does not limit a passenger’s leg room or block access to any other compartments.
• it does not interfere with anyone entering or exiting the vehicle cab.
• it is not likely to impact the driver or passenger in case of an accident or collision.

MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION

DO NOT locate the Product where it:

• obstructs the driver’s field of vision.
• distracts the driver from the driving task.
• interferes with the driver’s operation of controls or shifting.
• obstructs moving parts of the vehicle, if any.

Additional information for selecting an installation location:

• Installations should not obstruct the driver’s field of vision while operating the vehicle, and should comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations regarding
• appropriate installation locations (including restrictions against the mounting of objects on a vehicle’s windshield) and driver distraction.
• Consider the owner’s preference in selecting the installation location and whether there is a team or a single driver.
• Once a suitable location is selected, verify that there is nothing behind the mounting surface that might be damaged by drilling holes.
• The product shall be installed at a location where the radiating antenna can be kept 20 cm from nearby person in normal operation condition to meet regulatory RF exposure requirement.
• This EUT is strictly for installation by vehicle manufacturers / professional installers who will install the device in a location that is compliant with the user manual instructions, such that mobile RF exposure conditions can be maintained under all situations.

WARNING

• Excess cable can be a tripping hazard. Ensure cable is not draped where it will interfere with either the driver or passenger as they move within the cab.

Mounting Options

Mounting Screw Locations

• There are a total of 4 mounting screw holes, one at each corner, as pointed to by the red arrows below. Two of the holes are slightly elongated for tolerance purposes.
• Fastening screws (M5 bolts) and washer are provided.
