   4. Secure mounting after wiring is completed and tested
2. Before installing device into vehicle:
   1. Write down IMEI number (under barcode) of the device
   2. Write down license plate/VIN or any identification number of vehicle
      • Recommended: take pictures of device location and installation for future references. You can also forward them to support@positrace.com with device IMEI number to keep them on file.
3. Basic installation (diagram available at the end):
   1. Pin 1 (red) - constant power from 8 to 32 Volts DC.
      Recommended connection: positive contact on main vehicle battery.
   2. Pin 2 (black) - ground.
      Recommended connection: negative contact on main vehicle battery. 
   3. Pin 4 (white) - ignition detection. Positive voltage must be provided only when ignition is running, and zero volts when the ignition is off. 
      • Recommended connection: 3rd (run) position on ignition switch, or fuse panel “ignition” source if available. Please note - if connected to accessories, false trips and incorrect idling may occur.
      • Alternate ignition wiring: If an ignition source is not easily found, you may leave the white ignition wire completely disconnected. Please contact Support with your IMEI # and let us know. We will set your device for Virtual Ignition. (Be aware: live ignition is always more accurate than Virtual Ignition)
