For Automotive GPS Receivers
This instruction sheet describes how to assemble and use the quick-
release R-A-M
ceivers. The RAM suction cup mount is useful for mounting on glass or
other smooth surfaces. Your package also includes a motorcycle mount.
If you have the RV package, your box includes a flexible weighted base
mount. (If you have the standard auto version, the weighted mount is
an optional purchase.) It has a moldable base that lets you place the
unit on a variety of flat or uneven surfaces, such as a dash or console.
These mounts allow you to make non-mar installations without drill-
ing, screws or permanent adhesives. And, since each mount is portable,
it's easy to take your GPS with you in a rental vehicle or a friend's car.
When a GPS receiver is used in an automobile, the driver
is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe
manner. Drivers must maintain full surveillance of all
pertinent driving conditions at all times.
An accident or collision resulting in damage to property, per-
sonal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-
equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel condi-
tions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information
into your GPS unit while driving.
When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile, you must
avoid any installation that obscures important instru-
ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through
the vehicle's windows. Avoid placing the GPS where it
could be propelled by an activated airbag. Some states
restrict mounting any electronic device in any location
on an automobile dash. Be sure to check your local laws
before using these mounts.
Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhe-
sion each time you use the unit, and reinstall it if neces-
sary. This is a portable mounting device, and the normal
heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventu-
ally loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the
unit to fall or come loose during a turn.
