RC-100.qxd 30/07/03
Locate a suitable place for installing the RF receiver. Suitable places for installation
(see E 1) are under the dashboard, behind the centre instrument panel or behind the
glove compartment.
Please note the following when choosing the place of installation:
– Fit the RF receiver in such a position that it is easily accessible in order to allow the
reprogramming of hand transmitters.
– Do not fit the receiver next to other control devices, as this may cause mutual
interference and also result in malfunction and a reduction in the operating range of
the radio remote control.
– Make sure that the receiver and cables are fitted at an adequate distance from mecha-
nically moving vehicle components, e.g. steering column or brake, clutch and
accelerator pedal, in order to avoid damage to the cable or receiver by crushing or
rubbing.
– If you decide to install the radio receiver behind panelling, make sure that you are able
to refit the panel afterwards.
– When securing the RF receiver with screws or bolts, make sure not to damage any
other parts of the vehicle.
Malfunction or damage to components is repeatedly caused by cables not being laid or
connected properly. Correct laying and connection of cables is essential for long-term,
fault-free functioning of retrofit components.
Please note the following points:
– Always lay cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged. Never lay them for
example over sharp edges or next to hot or moving parts.
– Lay cables alongside original cable looms and connect them as frequently as possible
with insulating tape or cable binders.
– If cables have to be laid from the vehicle interior into the engine or luggage
compartment, use the existing cable passages through the bulkheads.
– Only connect the cables using proper methods. See the four following examples.
