CAUTION: Do not install the mounting base
on a leather or fabric surface, or
in a position that could impair
your vision, block air bag(s) or
obstruct vehicle dashboard
controls and/or radio CD/casette
operational displays.
NOTE: The adhesive backing on the base
will not permit easy repositioning once
it has been mated to the surface; use
extreme care and planning when
selecting the mounting location. If the
base is to be screwed to the surface,
make sure the area in back of the
mounting surface is clear of wires or
other items to prevent unintentional
damage.
c. Using the alcohol swab supplied with your kit,
clean the mounting surface and thoroughly wipe
the area dry with a clean lint-free cloth.
d. The cradle contains a rear mounting plate
After deciding the mounting configuration,
loosen and remove two flat-head screws
securing the plate to the cradle and remove
the plate. Save the two screws for reassembly.

e. If the outside air temperature is cold, it may
be beneficial to warm the adhesive backing
on the base using a portable hair dryer, or
by holding the backing surface in front of a
vehicle heater vent.
f. Remove the plastic liner from the adhesive
backing on the base, and fix the base in
position on the surface; make sure the
mounting pad is accurately positioned on
the first try, since repositioning may be
difficult, if not impossible.
g. If the mount is to be screwed in place, do
not remove the plastic liner from the
adhesive backing. Use appropriate sheet
metal or machine screws for this purpose.
