Mounting Considerations
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The
temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures
exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure.
Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these considerations.
• The location should allow for easy access to all device interfaces, if applicable.
• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of the device and protect it from excessive
vibration or shock.
• The location must allow room for the routing and connection of all cables.
• The location must not be a flat, horizontal surface. The location should be in a vertical angle.
You should test the location and viewing angle before you install the device. High viewing angles from above
and below the display may result in a poor image.
• The device must be oriented with the top of the device pointing to the top of the mounting surface.
• You must use the included cable ties to keep the cables in place and to take the weight off the connectors.
Do not overtighten the cable ties.
Mounting the Device
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.
To avoid potential damage to the device, use only the included screws to mount it. Using screws other than the
ones included will void your warranty.
The included template and hardware can be used to flush mount the device in your dashboard. There are two
options for hardware based on the mounting surface material.
• You can drill pilot holes and use the included wood screws.
• You can drill holes and use the included nut plates and machine screws. The nut plates can add stability to a
thinner surface.
1 Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
2 Secure the template to the selected location.

3 Using a 9 mm (
/
in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the
8
template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4 Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated 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 After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the holes on
the template.
8 If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new hole locations.
9 Based on your mounting method, drill the outer holes on the template:
7
• Drill 2.8 mm (
/
in.) pilot holes for the included wood screws, and skip to step 18.
64
5
• Drill 4 mm (
/
in.) holes for the included nut plate and flat-head screws.
