Installing the Device on Your Windshield
NOTICE
The adhesive mount is intended for a long-term installation and
can be difficult to remove. You should carefully consider the
mounting location before you install the mount.
Before you can install the adhesive mount onto your windshield,
the ambient temperature must be from 21° to 38°C (from 70° to
100°F).
1
Clean the windshield using water or alcohol, and a lint-free
cloth.
The windshield must be free of dust, wax, oils, or coatings.
2
Remove the protective film from the mount adhesive.

Position the mount over the mounting location.
TIP: The adhesive is extremely sticky. Avoid touching the
adhesive to the windshield until the mount is properly
positioned and aligned.

Press the mount firmly onto the windshield, and maintain
pressure for 30 seconds.
This helps to ensure the mount adhesive has proper contact
with the windshield.

You can use either of the included cables to provide power to
the camera. The longer, lightweight power cable is designed

it behind the vehicle trim along the windshield, doorframe, or
