WARNING! Always read and follow all safety information, including Important Safety Information and Limitations of Use, before harness and/or IOX installation. Disconnect the GO device from the vehicle before installation and connect it post-installation (see goo.gl/rkLRiA). Failure to follow these instructions and warnings can result in loss of vehicle control and serious injury or vehicle damage.
1 | Unplug the Geotab GO device from the vehicle and remove the IOX expansion port cover on your GO device. | |
2 | Plug the 90° USB connector from the IOX in the GO device. Secure the USB connector using a zip tie. Please note that over tightening the zip tie may damage the USB connector. ✱ NOTE: Insert the USB connector in the orientation displayed in the image. | |
3 | Choose an appropriate location to mount the buzzer. Proper placement of the buzzer is crucial and directly affects the driver’s ability to hear the buzzer under harsh, loud conditions — such as driving at high speed with the windows open. An open area under the dash is usually a good option. Keep the routing of the IOX-BUZZ wire in mind when choosing a location for the buzzer. Please ensure the IOX the installation does not interfere with safe vehicle operation. | |
4 | The buzzer has two mounting holes suitable for screws or a zip tie. In some cases, the buzzer can be taped in place if both surfaces are properly prepared. | |
5 | Once you connect the IOX-BUZZ to the GO device, plug in the GO device and immediately start the vehicle. The GO device will enter debug mode. | |
6 | Navigate to myinstallpub.geotab.com to verify that the device is communicating.
✱ NOTE: If the device is not communicating, please ensure the device is installed correctly and try again. |
The IOX comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you plan to install more than one IOX in a daisy chain, you must remove the shunt from each device in the line, with the exception of the last IOX connected. The shunt must remain in the last IOX and secured with a zip tie.
The shunt in the last IOX ensures the GO device detects and configures the IOX, as effectively as possible.
✱ NOTE: Failure to install the shunt in the last IOX may affect IOX communication. To ensure the IOX communicates, please secure the shunt using a zip tie.

WARNING! Do not attempt to install, configure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.
WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including gas, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in unanticipated acceleration, braking or other loss of vehicle control, which could lead to death or serious personal injury. Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which may cause injury.
WARNING! 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.
WARNING! Your in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting that can lead to a fire hazard or vehicle damage or serious injury.
WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause death or serious injury and/or vehicle damage.
