Attaching the Device to the Mount

NOTICE

To prevent product loss or damage, do not use the adhesive mounting base when the temperature is below -15°C (5°F).

NOTICE

The permanent mounting adhesive is extremely difficult to remove after it is installed.

Before you can install the adhesive mounting base onto a surface, the ambient temperature must be from 21° to 38°C (from 70° to 100°F).

Your device includes an assortment of mounting bases and arms, which can be used in many configurations. These instructions provide an example of one possible configuration. You can also purchase additional mounts for your device, such as wearable mounts, vehicle mounts, or a tripod mount. Go to www.garmin.com/VIRB for more information.

  1. Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface using water or alcohol.

    The mounting surface must be free of dirt, debris, wax, or coatings.

  2. Remove the film from the adhesive mounting base Callout number one, and press the base firmly onto the mounting surface.

    You can use either the flat base or the curved base, depending on the contour of the mounting surface.

  3. Allow the base to bond to the mounting surface for at least 24 hours.
    TIP: For the best results, you can place a large book or other heavy object on the mounting base during the 24-hour bonding period. This applies pressure to the adhesive and can help improve the strength of the bond.
  4. Insert the adapter Callout number two into the base.

    The lever Callout number three must be in the open position.

  5. Snap the lever to the closed position to lock the adapter into the base.

    The lever must be flush with the base.

  6. Insert the camera mount Callout number four into the top of the adapter.

    The device should be horizontal for the proper aspect ratio when recording video.

  7. Insert a thumbscrew Callout number five into the larger opening of the joint, and tighten the thumbscrew to lock the angle of the joint.
    NOTE: The metal fitting indicates the smaller opening of the joint.
  8. If necessary, insert the included hex wrench into the end of the thumbscrew to adjust the tightness of the joint.
