Safety considerations
Ĺš Donât install any device where it will block your view
(including your mirrors!) while youâre driving.
Ĺš .HHS\RXUDWWHQWLRQRQWKHURDG Donât try to operate
or focus on any device while youâre driving. If you have
to concentrate on a device, pull off the road for a few
minutes.
Ĺš Some states have rules about what kind of devices you
FDQDIÂż[WR\RXUFDUÂśVZLQGVKLHOGDQGZKHUHH[DFWO\\RX
can put them. If youâre not sure if there are any applicable
laws in your state, contact the state agency that issues
driversâ licences.
Ĺš Itâs a good idea to take valuable items with you when you
leave you carâthat includes GPS devices. If you canât
take the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment
or hide it somewhere. And donât forget to take down the
windshield mount: you donât want to remind any potential
thieves that you might have some valuable mobile
electronics in the car.
Donât leave the device in direct sunlight for a long
period of time or where the temperature could go above
140Âş F (60Âş C).
Attaching the windshield mount
1) Flip the GPS antenna up.
2) Press in on the bracket lock.
3) Insert the hook at the base of the bracket into the notch
on the bottom of the device.

GPS antenna.
5) Let go of the bracket lock, and gently tug on the
windshield mount to make sure the device is locked into
place.
ADJUSTING THE WINDSHIELD MOUNT
Ĺš The adjustment lock keeps both the bracket and the
suction cup locked into place. Lift the adjustment lock to
change the position of the device.
Ĺš The suction cup joint pivots front to back, and the bracket
joint pivots up, down, right and left, any just about angle
in between.
Ĺš Angle the suction cup and the bracket where you want
them, then push the adjustment lock back down to lock
the windshield mount into position.

If the bracket still moves too easily after you push the
adjustment lock down, you can tighten the bracket joint:
1) Remove the mount from your windshield.
2) Lift the adjustment lock, and twist the lock handle
clockwise two, maybe three turns.
Twist the

lock clockwise
a few turns to

Lift the

3) Flip the adjustment lock back down and see if the bracket
still moves. If it does, repeat step 2.
4) If the adjustment lock wonât go back down, the bracket
joint is too tight. Twist the adjustment lock one or two

Mounting on the windshield
Make sure the device does not block your view of the
road or your mirrors.
Once you decide where you want the device, hold the
suction cup in that position, then adjust the mount so you
have the best view of the device.
1) Press the suction
FXSĂDWDJDLQVWWKH
windshield.
2) Push the suction
lock up (towards the
suction cup) until it
snaps into place.
3) Gently pull on the
mount to make sure
it is secure.
If you have trouble
getting the suction cup
to stick:
Flip the suction
latch up to lock
the windshield
mount into place.
Ĺš Clean the spot with
an ammonia-free cleanser.
Ĺš Dry the spot completely (use a lint-free cloth, if possible).
Ĺš 0DNHVXUHWKHVSRWLVVPRRWKDQGĂDW VXFWLRQFXSVZRQÂśW
stick well on a curved or textured surface).
REMOVING THE WINDSHIELD MOUNT
When you release the suction latch, make sure
youâre holding or somehow supporting the device.
Lift the suction latch and use the plastic pull tab to pull the
suction cup off of the glass.
Page 24
Chapter Title
0RXQWLQJRQDĂDWVXUIDFH
If you want to put the device somewhere other than your
windshield (or anywhere the suction cup wonât stick), you can
use the anchor disk. Once you glue the anchor disk down,
the windshield mount installs inside the disk just like it does
on glass.
When youâre deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are
some things to keep in mind:
Ĺš The surface should be DVĂDWDVSRVVLEOH. If the disk
is upside down or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the
deviceâs weight.
Ĺš The surface should be DVVPRRWKDVSRVVLEOH. If the
surface texture is too rough, the glue may not stick as
well.
Ĺš The anchor disk will stick permanently on most
surfaces. If you try to remove the disk, you might
damage the surface.
Ĺš Donât peel off the red protective sheet until youâre ready
to install the disk. Once you expose the glue, you canât
stop easily.
1) When you decide where you want to mount the disk, hold
the suction cup in that spot and set the angle and position
of the bracket (just like you would for mounting on your
windshield).
2) Clean the spot to remove any wax, grease, protecterants,
etc.
3) Carefully peel the protective sheet
from the bottom of the anchor disk to
expose the glue.
Page 25
Chapter Title
4) Hold the disk exactly above the spot where you want
to glue it down. (Remember, the glue is designed to be
permanent!)
5) 3UHVVWKHGLVNÂżUPO\DJDLQVWWKHVXUIDFH3XVKGRZQ
along the edges, too, so that every part of the disk makes
good contact with the surface.
6) Before you install the windshield mount, gently tug on the
disk to make sure itâs secure.
7) 3UHVVWKHVXFWLRQFXSĂDW
Flip the latch
into the anchor disk, then
do

push the suction latch down the
(towards the suction cup) to
lock it into place.

How Do I Get There?
There are three basic ways to tell the GPS device where you
want to go:
Ĺš Enter a new address or intersection as your destination.
Ĺš Pick your destination from the pre-programmed list of
Points of Interest (POI).
Ĺš Pick your destination from the list of places youâve been
to before.
