INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This module is completely assembled and ready for installation.  Installation consists of a few steps which you the consumer must ensure get performed correctly by a qualified individual.

1. Unpack the module and identify the different parts as shown below.
   
   
   
2. Take the supplied 1/8” Mono Jack (which already has two thin wires attached by solder) and find a good mounting location on your computer system. This location should have plenty of room for the jack and wires and not cause interference with the reassembly and or other internal components and will not allow the soldered connections to short to anything, and allow routing of the wire to the internal power switch without causing interference with reassembly, other internal components, heat sources, moving components or other possible causes of short circuits.
   
   
   
3. Drill the hole for the jack and mount it. Run the wires from the jack to your power switch ensuring they won’t be pinched, cut, short to, or interfere with anything when you close your system back up. Determine the length of wire you will need to run from the mounting location to the power switch where you will be soldering. Cut the wires to the correct length that will be running between the supplied jack and your power switch.
   
   
4. Make sure your system is unplugged and that any and all laptop batteries are removed. Using a multi-meter, determine which of the two solder pads on your power switch you need to attach the wires from your jack. Place your multi-meter on the ‘short’, “continuity”, or ‘beep’ setting (you meter should ‘beep’ if you touch the leads together). While holding the meter leads to the pads press the switch down. If you get a ‘beep’ you most likely have found the two right pads to solder to. If not, try different combinations till you get the desired results. If you can’t figure this out, feel free to contact me. Once you have found the right pads, solder the wires running from the jack to your switch, polarity is not important on these two wires. Make sure to remove any and all stray wire parts or solder pieces inside your system. 
   
5.  
   
   
   
   
6. Reassemble your system. Making sure you don’t pinch the wires you just soldered.
   
   
7. Plug the green wire with plug into the jack now mounted on your system.
   
   
8. Plug in the USB cable to a USB port on your computer.
   
   
9. Wire the Red wire to a +12vdc line source of your vehicle that has power only at ACC/START/RUN.
   
   
10. Wire the Black wire to a good vehicle Ground.
    
    
11. Mount the remotely located emergency power switch wherever you would like it.
    
    
12. Your system should now be good to go.
    
    
13. One thing to verify is that your system goes into hibernation when “unplugged’; preferably within just a few minutes.
