Zoombak Locator Disposal and Recycling
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT
TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
You must dispose of the Zoombak Locator properly according to
local laws and regulations. Because the Zoombak Locator contains
electronic components and a battery, the Zoombak Locator must be
disposed of separately from household waste. When the Zoombak
Locator reaches its end of life, contact local authorities to learn about
disposal and recycling options. See www.zoombak.com for more
information.
Reduction of Hazardous Materials (PoHS)
This Locator does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent
chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl
ether (PBDE).
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your Zoombak Car Locator is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
does not exceed exposure limits set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and international guidelines established by the
independent scientic organization ICNIRP.
The exposure standard for wireless devices uses a unit of measure
called Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg. The SAR limit set by ICNIRP is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted at standard operating
positions with the Locator transmitting at its highest power level over
all frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating Locator can
be below the maximum value because the Locator is designed to only
use the power level required to reach the network.

Important Coverage Information
Our coverage maps provide high-level estimates of our coverage area
when using your device outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage
isn’t available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal
strength is not an exact science.
These are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that
along with other factors (network problems, software, signal strength,
your wireless device structures, buildings, weather, geography topography, etc.), will result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data
speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of services.
Services that rely on location information depend on your device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (often not available indoors) and network
coverage. Estimated future coverage subject to change. See www.
zoombak.com for coverage map and details.

•
DO NOT place objects, including communication equipment, in the
area of the airbag or in the airbag deployment area.
•
If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the
airbag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
•
Airbag wiring is generally marked by use of a yellow plug, yellow
wire loom, yellow tape and/or yellow tag. The installer must use
caution to identify any airbag wiring and avoid cutting, testing
or tapping into airbag wiring. Failure to comply may cause airbag
to inflate, this could cause serious injury.
•
Contact vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters for
specific airbag information for the vehicle.

Install your device
Step 1 - Select Your Installation Location
Prior to installing your Zoombak device in your vehicle, you must
activate your device and test it to ensure you have received at least
one successful location fix.
Find a location to mount your Zoombak 12VDC power supply module.
The module should be securely fastened using the supplied Velcro
and/or zip ties. When mounting the module:
• Make sure the positioning of the unit does not interfere with any of
the vehicle components or impede safe operation of the vehicle.
• Make sure that when the vehicle is reassembled that all of the unit’s
cables are secure and can not be pulled loose.
4
zoombak.com
Select a suitable location of your Zoombak device
Prior to installing your Zoombak device in your vehicle, you must
activate your device and test it to ensure you have received at least
one successful location fix. To ensure proper operation, Zoombak
recommends the device be installed in one of the two following
concealed locations.
Under rear package shelf
Behind the glove box
• Make sure the mini-USB cable will reach
the intended location of the power supply module
• Make sure that when the vehicle is reassembled
that all of the unit’s cables are secure and can not be pulled loose.
• DO NOT mount the Zoombak Locator under the hood of the vehicle
• DO NOT mount the Zoombak Locator where it will be
exposed to moisture
• DO NOT mount the Zoombak locator in a spot that
will impede safe vehicle operation
zoombak.com
5
Step 2 – Mount Device
Your installation kit includes a device mounting bracket to provide
for secure installation as well as the ability to remove the device for
portable use. Zoombak recommends the use of Velcro set or 2 sided
tape for installation of device bracket. Use of mounting bracket is
optional; the Zoombak locator can be mounted directly using supplied
Velcro, 2 sided tape and zip ties.
6
zoombak.com
Step 3 – Mount Device Charger
The device charger should be securely attached to the vehicle, close
to the device attachment, using the four mounting holes. The device
charger can be securely attached using the included Velcro or the
included zip ties.
Step 4 - Connect Power Harness
USE CAUTION WHEN PROBING WIRES IN THE VEHICLE.
AVOID HARNESS GOING INTO AND AROUND THE AIRBAG MODULES.
AVOID ANY HARNESS TAPED IN YELLOW OR BEARING YELLOW
“SRS” (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) TAGS.
Use wire ties to secure wiring from being pulled out of the Zoombak
Locator and to insure that it does not interfere with any vehicle
components.
Black Wire (-) ground wire
Once the Zoombak Locator Power Supply module is mounted, connect
the black ground wire to an existing factory bolt using crimp-on ring
connector. Please note: the power wire is also black, however, it has
a dotted white line with the white plastic fuse holder attached to it.
This connection should be made first. Use a wire brush or rotary file
to remove the paint from around the bolt to allow for the best possible
connection to ground. A good location to find a suitable bolt is in
either the drivers or passengers kick panel. Do not select a bolt that
has an existing factory ground wires attached to it. Make sure the bolt
is retightened properly after you are finished. Make sure any paint
underneath the bolt has been removed to provide the best possible
ground connection. Once the vehicle is reassembled this connection
should not be immediately visible.
Red (12v+) positive supply wire
Once the ground connection has been completed, locate a source of
positive (+) 12 volts that remains constant regardless of whether the
zoombak.com
7
ignition switch is in the on or off position. Please note: the (12v+)
positive supply wire may not be red, please consult your vehicle
manufacturer’s handbook for determining the correct location of this
supply wire. A good location to find a constant 12v (+) source is at the
vehicles battery, main switch ignition harness or fuse box. Make sure
you install the fuse holder within 6 inches from the point you have
obtained power. The included fuse is designed to protect the power
supply itself. Use caution if you are using a fuse tap; severe and costly
damage may occur to fuse box if they are not used correctly. Make
certain the circuit you tap into does not fall “asleep” after the car
ignition has been turned off. Most new vehicles incorporate battery
saver circuits which switch off power to non-essential accessories
after the vehicle has been switched off. Consult the vehicle
manufacture shop manual for location and descriptions of these
circuits.
