Flat Adhesive Mount 82 Curved Adhesive Mount MOUNTING GUIDELINES Follow these guidelines when attaching mounts: • Attach the adhesive mounts at least 24 hours before use. Allow 72 hours for complete adhesion. • Adhesive mounts must be mounted only on smooth surfaces. Porous or textured surfaces do not enable a proper bond. When applying the mount, irmly press it into place and ensure full contact over the entire surface. • Apply adhesive mounts to clean surfaces only. Wax, oil, dirt, or other debris reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and risk of losing the camera should the connection fail. 83 / Using the Mounts • Attach adhesive mounts in room temperature conditions. Adhesives do not bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments to cold or damp surfaces. • Check state and local regulations and laws to ensure that attaching a camera to equipment (such as hunting equipment) is permitted. Always comply with regulations that restrict the use of consumer electronics or cameras. 84 / Using the Mounts For more information on mounts, see gopro.com.
