Mounting Instructions
For Automotive GPS Receivers
This instruction sheet describes how to assemble and use the quick-
release flexible suction cup mount for Lowrance®automotive GPS re-
ceivers. The flexible suction cup mount is useful for mounting on glass
or other smooth surfaces.
These mounts allow you to make non-mar installations without drill-
ing, screws or permanent adhesives. And since each mount is portable,
it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle.
WARNING!
When a GPS receiver is used in an automobile the driver
is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe
manner. Drivers must maintain full surveillance of all
pertinent driving conditions at all times.
An accident or collision resulting in damage to property,
personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a
GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel
conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in
motion. Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter in-
formation into your GPS unit while driving.
When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must
avoid any installation that obscures important instru-
ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through
the vehicle's windows.
Avoid placing the GPS where it could be propelled by an
activated airbag. Some states restrict mounting any elec-
tronic device in any location on an automobile dash or
windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before us-
ing these mounts.
Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhe-
sion each time you use the unit and reinstall it if neces-
sary.
This is a portable mounting device and the normal heat-
ing and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventually
loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the unit
to fall or come loose during vehicle operations.

The iWAY package includes a flexible arm mount. The base and arm
can be adjusted to a position that best suits your vehicle.

ceiver.
Installing the flexible suction cup mount
The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction
cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure,
push the locking lever down until the arm is secure.

the cradle, push back on the unit until it snaps into place. You may
need to lift the release tab slightly to engage unit in cradle.
Steps for attaching unit to mount.
Another option is to place the GPS unit in the cradle before attaching
the suction cup and arm to the mounting surface. To dismount the unit
from the cradle, push the release tab up slightly then lift the iWAY
from the cradle. To remove the suction cup base, disengage the locking
lever and pull on the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal.
If the suction cup mount has problems staying on, clean the mounting
surface and the suction cup with alcohol then reinstall. Moistening the
suction cup may help adhesion in some cases.
Adhesive Mounting Plate
In some automobiles a typical windshield mount may be difficult or un-
desirable. The flat self-adhesive mounting plate allows you to mount
the unit somewhere else, such as on the dashboard or center console.
Remember, some states restrict mounting any electronic device to a
dash or windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using any
mounting device.

Adhesive mounting plate, top view, at left. Bottom view (right) shows
adhesive pad with peel-off cover.
The adhesive plate is important in these cases because the suction cup
base will not hold on the textured materials covering most dashboards
and center consoles.
The plate's smooth, flat surface provides a secure attachment for the
mount's suction cup, while the plate's adhesive pad holds the entire
assembly in place.
WARNING:
If you use the adhesive mounting plate it may be ex-
tremely difficult to remove. If you remove the plate it
could leave remnants of the adhesive pad or you could
damage the surface it was glued on.
Determine Plate Location
Once attached, the plate's adhesive pad is difficult or impossible to re-
move. It's important to select the right location before removing the
adhesive backing.
To select a mounting location, place the GPS in the cradle (as described
earlier) and snap the suction cup to the adhesive plate (see next image).
Hold the entire assembly at the desired location to check how it fits.
Make sure the flex arm can be positioned for easy viewing.

Next, turn the unit on and make sure the unit can "see" through the
windows and lock on to the satellites. If the unit can not lock on and
show your position, you must find another mounting location with a
better view of the sky.
Attach Adhesive Plate
When you have found a suitable place, make sure the mounting surface
is free of dirt and oil. Release the plate from the suction cup by flipping
the locking lever and pulling the vacuum release tab. Peel off the adhe-
sive pad's green paper backing. Position the plate over the spot and
press down firmly, maintaining pressure for 20 seconds to ensure the
adhesive bonds securely. You can now attach the suction cup mount
and GPS to the plate.
Storage Issues
Caution:
Do not leave this unit unattended on an automobile dashboard.
When your car is parked and the GPS is not in use, protect it
from theft and heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location
away from direct sunlight. In warm seasons the temperature on
a car's unventilated or non air-conditioned dash can become hot
enough to prevent the GPS unit from operating.

Long Term Storage
When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recom-
mend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature or in some
location with a temperature range of 60º to 90º F.
