Vehicle Holder Mounting
•
Do not mount the vehicle holder where it will obscure the driver’s view of the road.
•
Do not mount the vehicle holder near the driver seat air bag deployment area.
•
Do not place the MC55 on top of the dashboard or anywhere without securing it in the vehicle holder.
•
Do not mount the vehicle holder near the passenger seat air bag deployment area.
•

Device Mounting Precautions
•
Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the vehicle dashboard.
Be sure to check your local laws acceptable mounting areas before installing the vehicle holder.
•
The heating and cooling cycle of a vehicle’s interior will in some cases loosen the adhesion of the suction
cup. Check the vacuum seal of the vehicle mount kit for adequate adhesion each time you use the unit,
and reinstall if necessary.
•
If the vehicle holder has problems staying on, clean the plastic suction cup with alcohol, then reinstall.
WARNING!Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the vehicle
dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws acceptable mounting areas before installing the auto
mounting kit.
