  • Turn ON the vehicle ignition and wait for a few minutes.

Note:

  • Your shop mechanic or installer will know how to ​perform this operation.
  • Device must not be installed in vehicles with a battery source greater than 24V DC.​
  • Identify a constant power source before installing the device. Use a voltage meter to identify wiring and voltage.
