Prepare The Mounting Location - Lytx SF Series Installation Instructions Manual

Prepare the Mounting Location

CAUTION: To mount the device, the air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C). The
ideal temperature range is 70-100°F (21-38°C).
CAUTION: Do not use a heat torch to heat up the windshield or adhesive on the bracket
as this may reduce bracket adherence. If additional heat is required, use the vehicle
heating system for the windshield.
CAUTION: Steps 1-3, cleaning the area and drying it, are critical to prevent the bracket
from falling off later.
CAUTION: Do not peel the backing from the bracket's adhesive in this section.
1. Apply isopropyl alcohol on the windshield mounting area and dry it off with a clean
cloth, removing any debris. This is the area behind the rear view mirror on the
passenger side or the equivalent area if there is no rear view mirror (see below).
2. Clean the mounting area again with the
Lytx-supplied alcohol wipe.
3. Wait 2 minutes for the mounting area to
air dry before applying the device
bracket. Do not dry it with a cloth.
4. Following the mounting location
guidelines above, hold the assembly in
place and trace the outline of the
bracket on the windshield with a marker.
Make sure the traced guide marks are
level.
5. Remove the event recorder from the mounting bracket.
6. Check the fit of the bracket against the windshield. If the windshield is curved, you may
gently bend the bracket so it lies flush against the glass.
Best practice: Select a surface location with minimal curvature.
7. Check again to make sure you've selected the best mounting location.
a. Sit in the driver's seat while holding the device up. Make sure it doesn't block the
driver's view of the road.
b. Turn on the wipers and rotate mirrors, sun visors, and other objects near the
device to make sure they cannot block either lens.
