Digital Volt Meter

Cautions and Notes

Please read and follow the instructions and precautions in this installation guide when installing

VuLink.

For assistance, a qualified installation technician or mechanic should be consulted.

Do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the windshield. The mirror

mounting plate may become separated from the windshield and/or the windshield may

break if excessive force is used. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal seek

professional assistance.

To prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and

cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.

Do not run wires or cables in areas where they may become damaged by heat from the

engine or the exhaust system.

Do not install any wiring in the deployment path of the air bag(s).

When installing the cables or making wire connections, it is recommended you leave a little

‘slack’ in the cable connections to allow for service loops and for movement of the mirror so

the connections do not get pulled or accidentally disconnected.

Where possible, avoid running cables parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may

be installed in the vehicle.

We recommend at least 2 feet of distance between our cabling and that of other systems

which may carry a signal for transmit and/or receive

Section - 2: VuLink Configuration

Using VuVault to Configure your VuLink and FirstVuHD

Prior to installation, VuLink must be configured either through the Mini Configuration Manager

Software installer supplied on the VuLink internal memory or by using Digital Ally’s optional

VuVault™ back-office software. If you have purchased VuVault™, follow the instructions on this

page to configure and activate your VuLink.

If you have NOT purchased VuVault, skip to page 2-4 to configure your device.

You must upgrade VuVault to version 4.4 (minimum) to configure and activate a VuLink

device. VideoManagerII and previous versions of VuVault will not work with VuLink.

VuVault is used to manage VuLink settings as well as activate your device for use within the

system.

1. Before you can configure your device for use within VuVault, the serial numbers for

VuLink and associated FirstVuHD devices must be added into the system. Select

Admin>Devices>Add Device to add your devices into VuVault. Type in your device serial

numbers and assign a name within the system. When done, press Save (for more

information consult the VuVault User’s Guide “Adding Devices” section).

A configuration field will be available in the Admin>Settings tab within VuVault once a valid

VuLink serial number has been added into the system. These global settings will define how

your FirstVu HD’s will connect to VuLink.
