Mounting Instructions
For Automotive GPS Receivers
This instruction sheet describes how to assemble and use the quick-
release R-A-Msuction cup mount for Lowranceautomotive GPS re-
ceivers. The RAM suction cup mount is useful for mounting on glass or
other smooth surfaces.
These mounts allow you to make non-mar installations without drill-
ing, screws or permanent adhesives. And, since each mount is portable,
it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle.
WARNING!
When a GPS receiver is used in an automobile the driver
is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe
manner. Drivers must maintain full surveillance of all
pertinent driving conditions at all times.
An accident or collision resulting in damage to property, per-
sonal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-
equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel condi-
tions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information
into your GPS unit while driving.
When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must
avoid any installation that obscures important instru-
ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through
the vehicle's windows.
Avoid placing the GPS where it could be propelled by an
activated airbag. Some states restrict mounting any
electronic device in any location on an automobile dash.
Be sure to check your local laws before using these
mounts.
Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhe-
sion each time you use the unit and reinstall it if neces-
sary.
This is a portable mounting device and the normal heat-
ing and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventually
loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the unit

to fall or come loose during vehicle operations.
The iWAY package includes a double-socket arm mount. The base, arm
and cradle can be adjusted to a position that best suits your vehicle.

NOTE:
The double socket arm screws can be adjusted to make the arm
more rigid or loose.
Installing the RAM Suction Mount
The suction cup mount is designed to secure the GPS as it or the socket
arm rests on another surface. It is not designed to hold the unit sus-
pended by the suction cup alone. The photo below shows how a GPS
unit should be supported by the suction mount and another surface,
which in this example is a dashboard.

The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction
cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure,
turn the twist lock until the arm is secure.

Mounting the unit is easiest if you first engage the bottom back edge in
the cradle (see following photo). After the bottom of the GPS unit is in
the cradle, push down on the front of the unit until it snaps into place.

Steps for attaching unit to mount.
Another option is to place the GPS unit in the cradle before attaching
the suction cup and arm to the mounting surface. Simply choose which
option works best for you.
To dismount the unit, push the quick release tab on the front of the
cradle down (see following photo). To remove the suction base, turn the
twist lock counter-clockwise, then pull on the suction release tab to break
the vacuum seal.

If the suction cup mount has problems staying on, clean the mounting
surface and the suction cup with alcohol, then reinstall. Moistening the
suction cup may help adhesion in some cases.
Storage Issues
Caution:
Do not leave this unit unattended on an automobile dashboard.
When your car is parked and the GPS is not in use, protect it
from theft and heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location
away from direct sunlight.
In warm seasons the temperature on a car's unventilated or non
air-conditioned dash can become hot enough to prevent the GPS
unit from operating.
Long Term Storage
When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recom-
mend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature or in some
location with a temperature range of 60º to 90º F.

obstruct the view of the road ahead through the windshield.
