Mounting your navigation device
Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation Poster, then place
your TomTom Rider in the holder. When you are attaching the mount kit to your motorcycle,
follow these guidelines:
If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional to fit it for you.
If you choose to attach the mount kit yourself, note that the Active Dock has a built-in fuse.
This means that you don’t need to add a fuse yourself while performing the connection be-
tween the device and the motorcycle battery.
Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on the motorcycle.
Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage or break the mount
kit.
Do not overtighten nuts. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handlebars if
you overtighten the nuts.
If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over the exposed
threads.
Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are not cov-
ered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or con-
sequential, arising out of improper installation, or inability to use product. Before use, the user
shall determine the suitability of the product for its intended use. The user assumes all risk and
liability, whatsoever, in connection with the mount.
Connecting the dock cable
1. The red POS(+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycle's +12V battery supply.
