Flush Mounting The Device; Installing The Swivel Base - Garmin echoMAP 50 Series Installation Instructions Manual

Before permanently installing any part of your device, you
should plan the installation by determining the location of the
various components.
• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the
screen and access to the keys on the device.
• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the
device and the mount.
• The cables must be long enough to connect the components
to each other and to power.
• The cables can be routed under the bail mount or behind the
device.
• 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.

Flush 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.
Using a metal pry tool such as a screwdriver can damage the
trim caps and the device. Use a plastic pry tool when possible.
You can mount the device in your dashboard using the flush-
mount template and appropriate hardware. The flush-mount kit
may not be included with all models. You must purchase a flush-
mount kit.

Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where
you want to mount the device.

Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface
along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
5
Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the hole.
7
If your device has trim caps, use a pry tool, such as a flat
piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the
corners of the trim caps
and remove the trim caps.

Ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot
holes on the template.
