DIY (anyone)
FTC880 has only 2 wires with ready fork / spade terminals. Screw red onto the + terminal of the battery, black onto - (or to a chassis ground). That is all.
SIM, APN and server are pre-configured. No settings to flip after install - the device registers with the platform the moment it has power.

Steps
Open the battery cover in the engine bay (or wherever the battery sits on the motorcycle / boat).
Connect the red wire to the + terminal of the battery - slide the fork terminal under the terminal bolt and tighten with a wrench.
Connect the black wire to the - terminal of the battery or to a chassis ground. Same drill - fork terminal under the bolt, tighten.
Place the FTC880 in a dry spot in the cabin or engine bay (it is IP69K, but avoid standing water).
Add it and log in. Open your dashboard, press Add device and type the IMEI from the sticker. The vehicle appears on the map as soon as the device reports.

!
Do not
Do not open the case unless necessary - it voids the IP69K rating.
Do not reverse polarity (red on -, black on +) - that can damage the device. Always red on the + terminal.
Do not run the wires loose near moving / hot parts (fans, exhaust).
