Mounting the RDT-A7.0

Before fastening the RAM mount to the vehicle dash and installing the RDT-A7.0, refer to

our

Installation Warnings

.

Because securing the mount to a vehicle's dashboard is subject to many variables and installers are

expected to have previous experience with this process, these instructions do not include specific

steps. However, see the tips below for additional information.

Helpful tips

Before securing the mount to the dashboard, find the optimal spot for the

RDT-A7.0 and mount to be positioned. The best location will be one that

does not allow the unit to block the driver's view of the road or interfere

with the safe and standard operation of the vehicle. Keep in mind the

mount is adjustable.

To get an accurate estimation of how the tablet dock and mount will be

positioned, it might be helpful to attach the RDT-A7.0to the mount

temporarily. If this is done, unscrew the mount and RDT-A7.0 before

installing the mount on the dashboard for ease of installation.

Screwing the mount into the dashboard will require drilling through the

dashboard or dash plate first to establish screw-in points for the mount.

Use proper equipment, safety, and sense to avoid damaging any wiring or

equipment in and around the dashboard. (Continued)
