position it used is suitable for the device.
2. Test the installation for at least 30 minutes before installing on another vehicle. Record all
details:
Check that the position of the device does not obstruct vehicle controls.

Install the Mounting Brackets

WARNING
The device must be mounted in accordance with accepted aftermarket practices and
materials supplied by Honeywell and/or RAM Mounting Systems. Honeywell does not
support Talkman devices which are not mounted in an approved manner. Please note that
not mounting Talkman devices in an approved manner may also violate local safety laws and
possible cause a safety hazard by damaging Talkman devices and batteries.
Follow these steps to install a mounting bracket.
1. Drill the holes required to secure the base to the vehicle. If using the clamp mount, skip this
step.
2. Screw or clamp a base to the location.
Tip: Apply some lubricant (for example, light oil or anti-sieze) to the threads of the clamp
mount screws.
3. Attach the other base to the other end of the arm and tighten once in the desired location
by turning the locking lever clockwise.
4. Screw the device holder to the base.
IMPORTANT
To prevent vibration, the arm of the mounting bracket should not touch the stem of the ball
of the base. In other words, the arm should not be tilted so far that these pieces touch.
