  Positioning the MDT 860  
  in a Vehicle

There are three options provided for mounting the MDT 860:

Use the suction mounted, flexible, snap-lock bracket provided.
Panel mount the MDT 860 with the hardware mounting kit provided.
Attach to a Panavise bracket (Navman part number BK000025-G) or an 
alternative bracket using the M mounting holes in the backcase.

.1  MDT 860 Suction-Mount

Follow these steps:

Attach the MDT 860 to the vehicle mount by matching the two slides on the stand to the corresponding 
slots on the back of the MDT 860 unit and slide to gether until they firmly latch into place.
Choose a position on the windshield that is clearly visible to the driver without obstructing 
the view of the road or any safety equipment ie airbags. Clean the surface thoroughly.
Press the suction cup firmly to the surface. Pull the lever down to seal the 
suction cup. The suction cup firmly anchors the vehicle mount.
Hold the vehicle mount base firmly and bend the stalk to adjust to a safe and easy viewing position.

.2  MDT 860 M Mounting Holes 

The holes (illustrated in the diagram below) can be used to attach the MDT 860 to a Panavise bracket or an 
alternative bracket.  

Use the diagram below as a guide to insert M x 6 mm machine screws.  Do not over tighten, as driving the 
M machine screws in too far may cause damage.
