below the rear-view mirror and fasten it tight to the
windscreen with the clamping lever.

is also available.
NOTE: Before every ride, check the adherence of the holder. An
incorrectly installed device might get detached from the
windscreen and get damaged, causing damage to the car or
serious injuries to the driver. Always make sure that the
mounted RN LITE can record videos properly. Check if the
position is suitable by recording a test video manually.
