7signal Sapphire Eye 7signal Sapphire Eye – the external connectros DC input (left), Ethernet (middle), the external antenna (right) NOTE: External antenna is disabled for US markets 7signal Sapphire Eye – top-lid removed NOTE: The end-users are not expected to remove the outer lid in any use case. Removing the inner lid voids warranty. The outer lid contains connectors for dc input, ethernet cable and external antenna. In the picture above the external antenna connector is both in the outer lid and in the unit, too. The actual installation has one cable only. The battery (blue) and the GPS antenna (black square on the right) are optional. 7signal Sapphire Eye – internal connectors When properly assembled the external antenna connector is attached to the outer lid.
