Before you start the installation, consider the following to determine the best location for G7 Bridge:

• Position Bridge with a clear line of sight to the sky so that it can communicate with the Iridium satellite network unobstructed. When mounted to a vehicle or all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile, or boat, Bridge must stay in open sky, a minimum of 10 m (33 ft) away from any buildings.

• Place Bridge as high as possible on the vehicle to ensure the 900 MHz radio link can travel the maximum distance between Bridge and connected G7x devices.

• Locate Bridge close to the 12 or 24 VDC power source.

• Find a level surface to ensure that the display is readable and the buttons are accessible.

• Find an area that is clear from the operation of airbags, seat belts, where the device might interfere with the vehicle’s operation or safety systems, or where it would obstruct the driver’s view.

• If installing G7 Bridge in a vehicle’s interior, position Bridge so that the display faces the vehicle passengers.
