[. . . ] · When extending ignition, battery, or ground wires, use automotive-grade wires or other wires with AWG 18 (0. 75 mm2 gauge) or greater. CAUTION Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage. · Make sure to ground the unit to the chassis of your vehicle. · Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. [. . . ] Refer to the wiring diagram for more information. Wrap any unused wires with electrical tape; do not leave any metal exposed. Install the GVN 52 Use the screws or the hook and loop fasteners provided to mount the GVN 52 in the vehicle. Select a location that allows you to access the unit's SD card slot. We recommended installing it under a seat or in another place close to the driver. Do not install the GVN 52 inside a metal housing or where it might be shielded from you by a metal object. If there are large metal objects between you and the GVN 52, the remote control may not work. CAUTION Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity, or dust. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit. You can install an optional XM Smart Antenna (such as the GXM 30) either inside or outside the vehicle. Like the GPS antenna, it must have a clear view of the sky. If you use an extension cable with the XM antenna, wrap the two connectors with electrical tape. For information on installing an optional FM traffic receiver (such as the GTM 10), refer to the Installation Guide included with the traffic receiver.
