Mounting the Smart Display
To save weight the Smart Screen is not required for normal flying usage. It is only required
for programming the SmoothFlite.
Should you wish to mount the Smart Screen in the model for quick battery checks etc then
we recommend 2 options of mounting the Smart Screen display.
NOTE: Whichever method of mounting you choose, ensure the cable that comes out of
the Smart Screen Display is not crushed in any way. Doing so will reduce the longevity of
the cables.
Option 2. For hard mounting. The screen case has 2 eyelet holes on each edge of the screen.
If you are mounting the screen in a scale cockpit, or in a non vibration model. (e.g. Turbine)
these holes can be used to affix the Smart Display.
Simply place the Smart Display where you wish to mount it. Holding it in place, make a dot
using a pen or pencil in each eyelet hole. Removing the screen, drill a hole where you placed
the dots.
Now simply screw the Smart Display in place.
NOTE: Hard mounting the Smart Display provides little to no protection against vibration.
Use this method if you are using a non vibration model or only where there is little to no
vibration. AVOID MOUNTING IN HIGH VIBRATION AREAS.
Option 1. Using 3M Velcro adhesives, you can mount the back of the screen to a surface.
NOTE: This is a semi hard mount, and will provide a good resistance to vibration. AVOID
MOUNTING IN HIGH VIBRATION AREAS. VIBRATION DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY.
Clean both the back of the Smart Screen and surface that it is being mounted
on. Place 3M dots/tape each side of the cable. Trimming as necessary.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY FORCE DIRECTLY ONTO THE SCREEN
Press on the black case around the screen to ensure it is secure
