AIR GIZMOS Panel Dock 795 Let's Get Started

The Panel Dock has been shipped with a set of mounting hardware necessary for attaching it to an avionics
stack. If you intend to install it in a different way, use the included hardware as a reference when deciding what
type of installation hardware you will need. The hardware included is as follows:
8 AN525-832R8 SCREWS WITH INTEGRAL WASHERS, and 8 AN960-8 FLAT WASHERS.
A word of caution: we have designed the mount to be installed using standard screws, and we have fabricated
the flanges to allow clearance of the screw heads. Please do not attempt to use countersunk screws. Counter-
sinking plastic is generally not a good idea, and we cannot guarantee that our product will perform its duty if
you choose to countersink the holes. Also, please don't use Loctite®, or similar adhesive products for additional
security the screws, it will have a negative effect on plastic. Use the included hardware, or something similar,
and everything will be fine. Let's get started.

Installation Instructions for aera 795/796 Panel Dock
Revision 2, March 30, 2018
Thank you for purchasing an AirGizmos Panel Dock. This mount was designed to
securely hold your portable electronic device. It allows you to quickly remove your
portable device for upgrades, flight planning, or for use in another aircraft. We also
feel that this is a safer way to use your portable equipment, as it is securely held in
the panel at all times. We hope you receive years of enjoyment from our product.
Before beginning the installation process, please take a moment to fill out the
registration card.
The dimensions of the aera 796 Panel Dock are included for reference, but measure
yours just to be safe.
Note: if you are installing this product with Garmin avionics, you will find that
Garmin uses 6.3" wide trays. To account for the difference it is acceptable to use
washers. One thin washer on each bolt will work just fine.
These instructions assume that you are installing the aera 796 Panel Dock in a standard
radio stack, but that is not the only way to install it. The only requirement for installation is
that you must attach the side flanges to two pieces of angle, spaced the correct distance
apart. Two pieces of 1" 6061 aluminum angle works just great. Position your rails as de-
sired, making sure they are the proper distance apart, and parallel to each other. You can
rivet the rails to the front panel or choose to attach the rails by aircraft quality (AN type)
hardware. Either method works great.
Position the aera 796 Panel Dock in your panel. This will allow you to determine how it
should look from the front before you drill any holes. At this point you should make any
adjustments to the rails in order to have your GPS properly positioned in the panel.
