5 Place the device in the bail-mount and tighten the bail mount knobs.

Flush Mounting the Device
Use the included template and hardware to flush mount the device in your dashboard.
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount
of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large
could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.
1 Trim the template, and make sure it fits in the location you want to mount the device.
2 Secure the template to the mounting location.
3 Using a 14 mm (9/16 in) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of
the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4 Using a jigsaw or a rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside line on the
template.
5 Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
6 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
7 Use a pry tool, such as a flat piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the
trim caps from the sides, slide the pry tool to the center, and remove the trim caps.
Use a plastic pry tool when possible. Using a metal pry tool such as a screwdriver can
damage the trim caps and the device.
8 After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the device
line up with the larger 6 mm (1/4 in) holes on the template.
9 If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new hole locations.
10 Select an option:
• If you are using a nut plate, drill a 6 mm (1/4 in) hole in the larger hole locations.
• If you are not using a nut plate, drill 3.2 mm (1/8 in) holes in the hole locations.
11 Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate
drilled in the previous step.
