Installing the Adhesive Mount

NOTICE

The adhesive is intended for a long-term installation and can be difficult to remove. You should carefully consider the mounting location before you install the mount.

NOTICE

You should allow the mount to remain in place at room temperature for 24 hours before completing installation and using the device.

NOTICE

For the best results, the ambient temperature should be from 21° to 38°C (from 70° to 100°F) while installing with adhesive. The adhesive may not bond correctly if the temperature is outside this range.

Before you install the mount with adhesive, ensure the surface area is completely flat.

If screws cannot be used for installation, you can install the Garmin Catalyst™ R1 racing radar system using the included adhesive strip.

  1. Plan a path for the cable so that it does not interfere with the operation and function of your vehicle.
  2. Clean the mount and the area of the vehicle where you want to place the device using water or alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

    The surface must be free of dust, wax, oils, or coatings.

  3. Remove the protective film from the adhesive, and press it into place on the mount.
    TIP: The adhesive is extremely sticky. Do not touch the adhesive to the surface until the indicator is properly positioned and aligned.
  4. Remove the protective film from the other side of the adhesive strip, press the mount into place on the vehicle, and hold the mount for 30 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.


  5. Secure the cable, and connect it to the battery and Garmin Catalyst R1 racing radar system.
