My First Taxi |
Here is what you will need to outfit your first taxi for starting your business:
|
|
1) A TAXI METER; This is your money producer. Buy a new meter which has factory warranty, free programming of your fare charges, new cables and mounts. Dependable and guaranteed. (Centrodyne 610, the new Centrodyne S700 (when available) or Pulsar 2030 [with PS5]) {please e-mail us your rates: Fred@TaxicabElectronics.com} |
|
|
2) A BASIC TOPLIGHT; For recognition that you ARE a taxicab. We recommend a permanently mounted type, not a magnetic, but you may choose either. Screwbase types are safer and longer lasting, They look more professional. FTC11 or FKW03MC toplights included. (Other toplights can be substituted but prices will vary. Call 760-345-4347.) |
|
|
3) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS; If you can operate this computer, or change your oil, you can install and calibrate your own meter. You could also hire a sound shop, two-way radio dealer, or your mechanic to do it for you with these instructions for your EXACT make, model and year vehicle! You also get programming and calibration directions! |
