1.8.3.
When Carpe Iter mounAng brackets (paid accessory) are used, the Holder can be
mounted horizontally and verAcally.
1.8.4.
The Holder must be mounted by at least 4 screws forming a rectangular shape to
ensure stability and vibraAon resistance.
1.8.5.
Whenever possible, mount the Holder as close to its centerline as possible (i.e. use
mounAng nuts in the center, not on the edge of the base plate).
1.8.6.
The Holder and the Device have combined weight of approximately 1kg.
1.8.7.
Make sure the Holder is mounted on a solid structure on your motorbike
(handlebar or other support structure designed to carry heavy equipment) that can
carry the weight of the Holder and the Device reliably.
1.8.8.
It is imperaAve that Holder is mounted in such a way that engine vibraAons and
shocks from road are kept to minimum. Excessive vibraAons and shocks in the
Holder might cause a premature failure of the charging pins and / or of the Device.
This applies especially, if you plan to use the Holder and the Device off the paved
roads.
1.8.9.
MounAng Aps:
1.8.9.1. So\ mounAng style (e.g. Ram Mounts balls) is not recommended for
motorcycles. If you must use this mounAng style for some reason, use at
least C size ball (1,5 inch);
1.8.9.2. Although some motorcycles provide GPS mounAng brackets (e.g. Yamaha
T700), they might not be strong enough to support heavy equipment
without addiAonal reinforcement;
1.8.9.3. Some a\ermarket “rally” cockpits actually enhance engine vibraAons
because of their design, which can cause charging problems, premature
charging pins failure and/or Device failure;
1.8.9.4. In case excessive vibraAons manifest in the Holder, consider adding extra
dampening between the mounAng point and the holder (rubber mat,
rubber spacers, etc.);
1.8.9.5. Standard a\ermarket smart phone brackets are generally not strong
enough to carry the combined weight of the Holder and the Device.
