Installation
Attach the suction cup mount to the unit by sliding it into the windshield

has an unobstructed view of the road and has a clear view of the sky.
Once you have chosen a suitable location, press the suction cup bracket
rmly to the windshield with the lever in the unlock position. Then turn
the lever 90 degrees to lock position to seal the suction cup to the
windshield. Finally, loosen the nut slightly and adjust the bracket so that
the unit is horizontal to the road.
Attach the power cable to the 12V mini USB port located on the lever of
the windshield bracket. Insert the other end into an appropriate
cigarette lighter receptacle.
To hardwire your unit for a neater installation look, please contact an
automobile electrician or your local car dealer.
Use the supplied 12V auxiliary power cord or the 12V hardwire to power
the unit. Other third-party USB cables may not provide sucient power
to the unit.
Safety Warnings
Do not allow the unit to obstruct the driver’s view.
Do not place the unit in front of the air bags such that it would interfere
with the ination of the air bag.
Do not place the unit unsecured on the dashboard or elsewhere, as it
could be propelled inside the vehicle, causing injury to occupants.
Some state laws prohibit mounts or restrict mounting to specic areas
of the windshield. Please check your local laws for restrictions.
