Bail Mounting the Device

If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a
clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
You can use the bracket to bail mount the device on a flat surface.

Flush Mounting

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.
Use only the included hardware when mounting this device. Using mounting hardware not provided with the
device may damage the device.
To avoid potential damage to the device housing, use only the included screws to mount the device. Using
screws other than the ones included will void your warranty.
Do not use the device as a template when drilling the mounting holes because this may damage the glass
display and void the warranty. You must only use the included template to correctly drill the mounting holes.
If you will not have access to the back of the device and the microSD memory card slots after installations, you
should install the microSD memory card prior to installation.
The included template and hardware can be used to flush mount the device in your dashboard. There are three
options for hardware based on the mounting surface material.
• You can drill pilot holes and use the included wood screws.
• You can punch and tap holes, and use the included machine screws.
• You can drill holes and use the included nut plates and machine screws. The nut plates can add stability to a
thinner mounting surface.
NOTICE
as a template, mark the pilot holes
on the sides of the device.
