WARNING! Only use Geotab telematics devices with Geotab-approved harnesses acquired from Geotab-authorized channels. Use of non-Geotab harnesses from unauthorized channels can cause serious safety risks, including fire, and can lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
 - 
                     
IMPORTANT: Always use a vehicle-specific harness when offered by Geotab or the vehicle manufacturer to avoid possible GO device damage. Some vehicles have multiple diagnostic connectors to choose from when installing a GO device.
 - 
                     
For more information on Geotab harnesses and adapters, see Harness Identification and Application & Harness Assessment Cheat Sheet GUIDE V2.0
 - 
                     
If a longer length is required to facilitate installation, connect a straight harness to a T-harness. Ensure that the total harness length does not exceed 2 meters (or 6.5 feet). Any two harnesses that exceed 2 meters may compromise the integrity of the data and cause issues with the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU).

All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, airbags, and gas, brake and clutch pedals.
 - 
                     
This requires the use of a cable tie when securing the device or any extension harness to the OBD connector, securing both sides of the harness. If you do not use a cable tie, vibration in the vehicle can lead to a loose connection which could cause the vehicle’s engine computer to fail, causing potential loss of vehicle control and serious injury.
 - 
                     
Inspect devices and cabling regularly to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached.
 - 
                     
If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.
