First things first
Set up the Acer e300 Series Travel Companion on your vehicle
The Acer e300 Series Travel Companion comes with a car mount kit and a
car charger with which you can set up your device on your vehicle. You
can choose to position the car mount kit on the windshield using the
suction cup, or on the dashboard using the self-adhesive power disc
connector.
Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the
vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before
installing the car mount bracket.
Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the
windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this
problem in your vehicle, you need to purchase an external GPS antenna. For more
information, contact your local Acer dealer.

Install the car mount on the surface of your vehicle:
•
That is smooth, flat and free of dirt and oil
•
Where the driver can easily view/reach it without taking his/her eyes
off too far from the road
•
Where the device will not obscure car controls nor restrict the driver's
view of the road
•
Far from the air bag deployment area
To set up the device on your vehicle:
