Attaching the Device to the Mount
NOTICE
To prevent product loss or damage, do not use the adhesive
mounting base when the temperature is below -15°C (5°F).
The permanent mounting adhesive is extremely difficult to
remove after it is installed.
Before you can install the adhesive mounting base onto a
surface, the ambient temperature must be from 21° to 38°C
(from 70° to 100°F).
Your device includes an assortment of mounting bases and
arms, which can be used in many configurations. These
instructions provide an example of one possible configuration.
You can also purchase additional mounts for your device, such
as wearable mounts, vehicle mounts, or a tripod mount. Go to
www.garmin.com/VIRB for more information.
1
Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface using water
or alcohol.
The mounting surface must be free of dirt, debris, wax, or
coatings.
2
Remove the film from the adhesive mounting base
À
, and
press the base firmly onto the mounting surface.
You can use either the flat base or the curved base,
depending on the contour of the mounting surface.
3
Allow the base to bond to the mounting surface for at least 24
hours.
TIP: For the best results, you can place a large book or other
heavy object on the mounting base during the 24-hour
bonding period. This applies pressure to the adhesive and
can help improve the strength of the bond.
4
Insert the adapter
Á
into the base.
The lever
Â
must be in the open position.
5
Snap the lever to the closed position to lock the adapter into
the base.
The lever must be flush with the base.
6
Insert the camera mount
Ã
into the top of the adapter.
The device should be horizontal for the proper aspect ratio
when recording video.
7
Insert a thumbscrew
Ä
into the larger opening of the joint,
and tighten the thumbscrew to lock the angle of the joint.
NOTE: The metal fitting indicates the smaller opening of the
joint.
8
If necessary, insert the included hex wrench into the end of
the thumbscrew to adjust the tightness of the joint.
Voice Control
The voice control feature allows you to control your camera by
saying words and commands in English.
NOTE: The voice control feature is available only in English.
You can use this feature while the interface is set to a different
language, but you must speak the commands in English.

Voice Control Tips
