• The location must allow room for the routing and connection
of all cables.
• The location must not be a flat, horizontal surface. The
location should be in a vertical angle.
The location and viewing angle should be tested before you
install the device. High viewing angles from above and below
the display may result in a poor image.
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.
You can drill holes and use the included template, nut plates,
and machine screws to flush mount the device. The nut plates
can add stability to a thinner surface, and are strongly
recommended for most RV installations.
1
Trim the template, and make sure it fits in the location where
you want to mount the device.
2
Secure the template to the mounting location.

3
Using a 13 mm (
/
in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes
2
inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare
the mounting surface for cutting.
4
Using a jigsaw or a rotary tool, cut the mounting surface
along the inside line on the template.
5
Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the cutout.
7
If necessary, remove the trim caps.
Use a plastic pry tool when possible. Using a metal pry tool,
such as a screwdriver, can damage the trim caps and the
device.
8
After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
mounting holes on the device line up with the larger holes on
the template.
9
If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the
new hole locations.
10
1
Drill 6 mm (
/
in.) holes in the larger hole locations.

11
Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate
over the larger hole
The smaller hole
on the nut plate should line up with the
smaller hole on the template.
12
If the smaller hole on the nut plate does not line up with the
smaller hole on the template, mark the new hole location.
3
13
Drill a 4 mm (
/
in.) hole in the smaller hole location.
16
14
Repeat to verify placement of the remaining nut plates and
holes on the template.
15
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
16
Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut
plate
on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the
large and small holes.
The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger
hole.

drilled in the previous step.
17
Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening
the smaller machine screws
18
Install the foam gasket
The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back.
Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing
them on the device.
19
If you will not have access to the back of the device after you
mount it, connect all necessary cables to the device before
placing it into the cutout.
20
Place the device into the cutout.
21
Secure the device to the mounting surface using the larger
machine screws
.
22
Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the
edges of the device.
