!For battery powered vehicles:
The green wire must be connected to the vehicle chassis ground.
For internal combustion engine powered vehicles:
The green wire is connected to the vehicle chassis ground, which can also be battery negative.
3.If ignition control will be used, connect the blue wire to an ignition switched circuit (less than 1mA over input voltage range). If ignition control is not used, the blue wire can be left disconnected,
4.If the VX8/VX9 cable is connected to a screen blanking box or switch, connect the D9 connector to a COM port on the dock.
5.The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). Therefore, when routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Cable should be protected from physical damage from moving parts. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe opera- tion and maintenance of the vehicle.
6.Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot inter- vals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
