Warnings
Safety warnings for Next Gen GO® Anywhere™.
Professional installation required. Installation of this product requires that the installer have sufficient technical knowledge and expertise for mobile device installation and integration into modern vehicles, such as Certified Geotab Installer certification or equivalent.
Read important related safety information and Limitations of Use following these installation instructions. Read and follow all instructions and warnings to prevent serious injury and/or vehicle damage.
Some installations are not straightforward and must be completed by an Authorized Installer to ensure a secure installation. Examples requiring professional installation include when the device may not be fully secured and could vibrate loose or get knocked, or when the installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation.
Prior to Go Anywhere installation, read and follow important safety information including limitations of use located following these installation instructions. Always read and follow all safety information to prevent loss of vehicle control and serious injury.
Do not attempt to install, reconfigure, or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration, or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles that are securely parked.
To prevent risk of fire or damage to the asset, the external power harness must be connected to an appropriately fused circuit. Failure to use a correctly fused power source can lead to an overcurrent condition, resulting in serious damage to the asset's electrical system and/or risk of fire.
The device may become hot to the touch during operation, particularly when externally powered in high-temperature environments. Exercise caution when handling the device after extended use to avoid the potential for minor burns.
To prevent equipment damage and ensure reliable operation, do not install the device where it may be exposed to corrosive chemicals or fuels. Such exposure can damage the housing and internal components, compromising the device's integrity and voiding the warranty.
Keep away from children. The magnets can cause serious injury or death if ingested. The magnets are strong and may cause harm if mishandled. Always slide the magnets when trying to separate or join them to avoid personal injury or damage.
Always get permission before you drill, and inspect the area to ensure no adjacent equipment will sustain any damage.
To prevent risk of fire, explosion, or chemical leakage, use only Geotab-approved replacement batteries. The use of unauthorized or incompatible batteries will void the product warranty.
Do not use a battery that is leaking, damaged, or deformed. Handle compromised batteries with appropriate personal protective equipment. Dispose of damaged batteries immediately according to local hazardous waste regulations.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. Allowing the terminals to come into contact with metallic objects can cause rapid overheating, leakage, or explosion.
The Geotab GO Anywhere is a monitoring device and is not a failsafe anti-theft or life-saving system. Device functionality depends on factors including battery charge, available GPS and cellular coverage, and proper installation. Do not rely on this device for emergency situations or as the sole means of asset security.
