Setup the NAV 350 on a vehicle

The NAV 350 comes with a car mount kit and a car charger with which you can set up the device on a vehicle. Choose a position for the car mount kit on the windshield using the suction cup, or on the dashboard using the self-adhesive power disc connector.

Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket.

Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this problem in your vehicle, you need to purchase an external GPS antenna.

Car mount installation reminders

Install the car mount on the surface of a vehicle:

That is smooth, flat and free of dirt and oil

Where the driver can easily view/reach it without taking his/her eyes off too far from the road

Where the device will not obscure car controls nor restrict the driver's view of the road

Far from the air bag deployment area

To set up the device on a vehicle:

This section shows how to install the car mount kit in a vehicle’s windshield using the suction cup. For dashboard installation procedures using the self-adhesive power disc connector refer to the NAV 350 Portable Navigator Starter Guide.

1.Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth.

2.If the ambient temperature is below +15°C (60°F) warm the mounting area and the suction cup (e.g. with a hair dryer) to ensure a strong suction bond.

3.Install the car mount on the selected area.

a.Fix the suction cup to the selected area with the locking lever facing up.

b.Flip the locking lever away from you to create a vacuum between the suction cup and the mounting surface.
