1.Mount the window suction mount or Safety-Mount® (sold seperataly, instructions included with the product ) To mount the window mount please clean the window and place the window mount in your preferred position. Tighten the nut on the base of the mount to make it stick to the window. Place the window mount in a position where it doesn’t interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

2.You can screw the cradle to your mounting part directly, or use the included swivel. If you use a Safety-Mount® it may be necessary to drill holes in the Safety-Mount®

to be able to screw on the cradle with or without swivel. You can use the pattern on the front page to see the positions where to drill the holes in the Safety-Mount®.

Adjust the swivel to optimize your view on the PDA screen and tighten it well.

Then the other side of the fuse’s wire needs to be connected to the vehicle’s 12V Ignition controlled voltage (+15) to avoid draining the vehicle’s battery when the vehicle is not used for a long time.

The black wire needs to be connected to the Negative Ground of the vehicle.

7.Slide the PDA into the cradle slowly and make sure the PDA is centred well above the connector. Then press it over the connector gently.
