In certain areas where there is a high magnetic field or the earth's magnetic field deviates from true north, the compass may give an inaccurate reading.

Examples of places and objects that have high magnetic fields:
Under steel bridges
Railway crossings
Under high voltage wires
Broadcasting antenna
Electrical generator plants
Near electrical substations
It is possible that a windshield wiper motor may affect the direction indicated by the compass. If this occurs, move the compass to a different location on the dashboard.
When using adhesive tape to attach components of the Field Compass, make sure to clean all surfaces free of dirt, oil, water etc. Attach all components securely so they will not come loose during driving.
Some vehicle models, due to their structure, will not display the temperature correctly.

HOW TO ATTACH THE COMPASS SENSOR
This product includes a magnetic sensor. If the sensor is not placed horizontally in a location where there is no magnetic interference, it will not give accurate readings. Please consider the following when attaching the compass sensor.

1. Install it on the dashboard where the surface is no more than 5" from horizontal.
2. Place the compass sensor so that it points towards the front of the car.
3. Do not place magnets, TV, radio antenna, speakers or metal objects near the sensor.

HOW TO ATTACH THE DISPLAY UNIT
1. Gently slide the display unit onto the stand until engaged.
2. Cut and attach the adhesive tape to the stand. Place the stand within 5 in. of the front windshield, where the display is visible. The remaining tape will be used to attach the control unit and external temperature sensor.
  If the any of the fittings or screws on the product come loose, please tighten them gently. Using too much force may cause damage to the unit.

In hot weather where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, cover it with a white cloth for protection.

The company is not responsible for any damage to the vehicle arising from the use on application of the display film on windshield.

Please note that the laws of certain states prohibit applications of materials to a vehicle windshield other than in certain locations. For example, California Vehicle Code Section 26708(b) limits application of stickers or other materials to a 5-inch square area in the lower corner of the windshield nearest the driver.

On certain vehicle models, installation of the transparent film in such a location may be impractical, because limited clearance between the dashboard and the windshield may preclude attachment of the display unit to the dashboard at a position that will enable the driver effectively to view the reflection of the instrument display on the transparent film.

Please consult the laws of the jurisdiction in which you intend to operate your vehicle to determine whether similar laws or regulations would apply to you and if so, please examine the relative configuration of you dashboard and windshield to determine whether installation of the display unit as described in the installation manual will conform to requirements of local law.

Nippon Seiki Co.,Ltd., does not encourage installation of the products in violation of local laws or regulations and shall not be responsible for failure to obey local laws or regulations.

HOW TO ATTACH THE DISPLAY FILM
1. Before attaching the display film, clean the inside of the windshield.
2. To separate the film from the backing paper, attach adhesive tape to film and the backing paper about 2cm(4/5 in.) from the edge of the film and use the adhesive tape to pull the display film from its backing.
3.

Spray a mixture of water and mild detergent(1 to 2 the drops) on the windshield and on the side of the film to be applied to the windshield.

Apply the film to the windshield. Gently squeeze out excess any water or air bubbles from under the film and gently wipe any extra water away with a tissue or soft cloth. Do not scratch the film with the tissue or cloth.


HOW TO ATTACH THE EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cut a portion of the adhesive tape and use it to attach the sensor in a location where it is protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Example, near the hinges on the door. (See diagram)

If the sensor is to be attached in the opening between the door and the body of the vehicle, make sure that the sensor wiring is not cut when the door is closed.

The space around the door hinges is usually dirty. Make sure to clean the surface where the sensor is to be installed.
