Flush Mounting the Device

NOTICE

Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.

NOTICE

Using a metal pry tool such as a screwdriver can damage the trim caps and the device. Use a plastic pry tool when possible.

You can mount the device in your dashboard using the provided flush-mount template and hardware.

  1. Trim the included template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
    NOTE: The sun cover provided with this device has a release latch on the right side, as indicated on the template. Be sure to allow enough clearance to access and pull the latch when selecting a location.
  2. Secure the template to the mounting location.
  3. Using a 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
  4. Using a rotary cutting tool or jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
  5. Secure the cradle to the back of the device (Installing the Device in the Cradle).
  6. Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
  7. If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
  8. Use a plastic pry tool or a flat piece of plastic to carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps Callout number 1, slide the pry tool to the center Callout number 2, and remove the trim caps.

  9. Ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes on the template.
  10. If the mounting holes on the device do not line up with the pilot holes on the template, mark the new pilot-hole locations on your template.
  11. Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
  12. Remove the template from the mounting surface.
  13. If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, route the necessary cables through the hole and connect them to the cradle.

    You can press Power button to power the device on and off to test the connections.

  14. Install the rubber gasket pieces Callout number 3 on the back of the device.

    The pieces of the rubber gasket have adhesive on the back. Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device.
