Mounting the Microphone.

For safe use, make sure of the following:
• Location is stable and firm.
• Driver's view and operations are not obstructed.
• Microphone is located where the driver's voice can be easily
picked up (for example, on the sun visor).
When you speak into the microphone, you should not have to
change your driving posture. This may cause a distraction,
taking your attention away from safely driving your vehicle.
Carefully consider direction and distance while mounting the
microphone. Confirm that the driver's voice can be easily picked
up at the selected location.
