Technical Information
The
FLO TV
service operates on UHF channel 55 (720 MHz) and is multicast from terrestrial towers.
Coverage will vary and reception is dependent upon the FLO TV module in your vehicle being within
range of the towers. Coverage area can be viewed on the FLO TV web site (www.flotv.com).
The FLO (Forward Link Only) TV service is transmitted over the
FLO TV
network and received by the FLO
TV module in your vehicle. Along with the television program material, data is transmitted for the
program guide and is updated on a regular basis. If you are out of the coverage area the program
guide will be updated when the vehicle returns to the coverage area.

Safety Precautions
Installation of the FLO TV product requires careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful of
the airbags in vehicles and not to have any FLO TV component or wire harness interfere with them.
Keep wiring away from any air bag wiring (usually identified by yellow connectors and yellow wire
jackets). Damage to air bag wiring can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants.
When connecting power and ground in a vehicle, insure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it
is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short
circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the FLO TV product.
Do not install any FLO TV component (e.g. wired remote control) where it may obstruct the driver’s
view through the windshield, or any of the vehicle’s indicator displays.

Vehicle Preparation
1. Read the manuals to become familiar with the electrical requirements and connections of the
FLO TV kit.
2. Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle’s
wiring as well as areas where the interconnecting wire harnesses will be located.
3. Locate an accessory power source (+12VDC present when the ignition key is in the accessory or
run positions. 0VDC should be present when the ignition key is in the OFF position), and a good
ground location. Generally, these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fuse box.
NOTE:
Ensure that the fuse on the wire harness remains intact during the installation and is
connected directly to the accessory power source. Removal of the fuse may result in
vehicle wiring damage.
4. Run the wire harnesses throughout the vehicle as required. (Examples of suggested wiring
configurations are detailed on the following pages.)
5. Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that it will
not be pinched when fully installed.
6. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow for sufficient working
room.
