■ Safety information
Observe the following safety guidelines when installing the car kit.
• Only a qualified service technician should install or service the car kit
using the approved original Nokia parts supplied in the sales
package. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty which may apply to the car kit.
End users should remember that the car kit comprises of complex
technical equipment that requires professional installation using
special tools and expert know-how.
• Instructions given in this guide are general guidelines that apply to
the installation of the car kit in an automobile. However, due to the
wide variety of car types and models available on the market, this
guide cannot consider the individual technical requirements relevant
for any particular vehicle. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for
detailed information about the vehicle in question.
• The car kit is designed to be connected directly to a vehicle with a 12
V, negative grounding. Connection to a 24 V system requires a 24 V
to 12 V converter to be used in the VBatt line. The ignition line can be
connected directly to the 24 V system.
The car kit has in-built protection for over voltage, but a connection
using the wrong polarity might damage the unit.
• Remember that modern automotive systems include onboard
computers where key vehicle parameters are stored. Improper
disconnection of the car battery may cause loss of data,
necessitating extensive effort for reinitialisation of the system. If you
have any concerns, contact your car dealer before any installation
work is done.
• Do not wire the car kit equipment to the high-voltage lines of the
ignition system.

• When installing the parts of the car kit, make sure none of them
interfere with or hinder the steering or braking systems or other
controls or systems used in the operation of the vehicle (for example,
airbags). Make sure the car kit and any of its components are not
installed where you might come in contact with it in the event of an
accident or collision.
If the display of a mobile device is to be used, make sure the device is
mounted in a holder and that the device display is clearly visible to
the user.
• Your service technician or dealer may be able to provide you with
information on alternatives for mounting the equipment suitably in
your vehicle without requiring bore holes.
• Do not smoke when working on the car. Make sure there is no source
of fire or flame nearby.
• Take care not to cause damage to electrical cables, fuel or brake
lines, or safety equipment during installation work.
• RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, and airbag systems. If you notice a fault or
change in the operation of such a system, contact your car dealer.
• Make sure cables are placed so that they will not be subject to
mechanical wear and tear (for example, not laid under car seats or
over sharp edges).
