Installation
Attach the windscreen bracket by sliding it in to the slot on the top of the
unit. Find a suitable area off the windscreen to mount the unit where it
has an unobstructed view of the road ahead and a clear view of the sky
so that the GPS windscreen bracket can connect to satellites. If you are
powering from the cigarette lighter socket we recommend mounting it
toward the bottom of the windscreen, just above the dashboard so that it
has a good view of the road ahead, but so that it’s view is not obstructed
by the windscreen wipers. Alternatively, you can mount it at the top
of the windscreen near to the rear view mirror, but this might only be
convenient if you intend to ‘hard wire’ the unit directly to your vehicle’s
electrical system.
User tip. Remember that you will need to attach the power cable,
so nd a position where this can be done without obstructing
the vehicle’s controls or becoming a danger to the driver or
passengers.
Once you have chosen a suitable location, press the suction cup bracket
quite rmly to the glass with the lever in the ‘unlock’ position and then
rotate the lever 90 degrees in to the ‘lock’ position to secure. Finally,
loosen the nut slightly and adjust the bracket so that the unit is in a
horizontal position and then re-tighten.
Connecting to power
Attach the mini USB plug on one end of the power cable to either the
mini USB socket on the side of the unit or the mini USB socket on the
lever of the GPS windscreen bracket depending on which is the most
convenient for your installation. Insert the other end in to an appropriate
cigarette lighter/12V socket in your vehicle.
Please note that you should only use the 12V cigarette lighter
adaptor or the 12V hardwire lead supplied to power the unit. Most
other USB supplies, such as the accessory style USB socket,
sometimes tted to newer vehicles, will only provide a 5V output
which will be insufcient to power the unit.
