Flush Mounting the Device
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device.

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.
The card reader can be flush mounted in the dashboard using
the included hardware. When selecting a mounting location,
observe these considerations.
• The card reader should be mounted in an accessible
location. You must be able to access the card reader when
necessary to insert and remove memory cards containing
additional mapping and device updates, and to transfer user
data.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
