Positioning Your PiN in a
Vehicle
Before you begin, check if your vehicle is fitted with a heat-reflecting or heated windshield. If so,
you will need to purchase an external antenna for your PiN to receive GPS signals.
There are several ways to position your PiN in a vehicle. Follow these instructions carefully.
• Do not place your PiN in a position that obstructs the driver's view, or interferes with the
operation of air-bags or other vehicle safety equipment.
• For security and to avoid overheating, do not leave your PiN in an unattended vehicle,
especially in strong sunlight.
• Do not use or handle your PiN when it is hot — leave it to cool out of direct sunlight.
Windshield Suction Mount
You can position your PiN on the inside of your vehicle windshield using the PDA windshield
suction mount and PDA cradle:
1. Attach the PDA cradle to the PDA windshield suction mount by inserting the four tabs at
the end of the suction mount arm in the four slots on the cradle. Ensure that the Close
arrow on the suction mount is pointed toward the top end of the cradle.
2. Find a suitable position on your windscreen where the PDA will be clearly visible by the
driver.
Warning: Do not mount your PiN in a way that interferes with airbags or other safety
equipment.
. Clean and dry the suction cup and the windshield. Do not touch either area after it is
cleaned.
4. Press the suction cup firmly to the window, then push the lever toward the window.
5. Extend the GPS receiver into a horizontal position and slide your PiN into the PDA
cradle.
6. Bend the arm of the suction mount so that the PiN will be clearly visible to the driver.
7. Plug the vehicle power adapter into the socket on the bottom of your PiN and the other
end into the vehicle lighter socket.
To remove the PDA windshield suction mount from the windshield, pull the lever away from the
window and gently lift the tab on the rim of the suction cup.
