Mounting your AirWare on the dash

We’ve included three types of mounts to help you install

your AirWare in your vehicle’s interior.

FLUSH MOUNT: Attach the included

adhesive pad to the back of your AirWare’s 

vehicle docking station. Stick the vehicle 

docking station onto a flat surface in 

your vehicle, preparing the surface as 

described below. Do not install the 

mount on a leather surface. Doing so 

could permanently damage the surface.

VENT MOUNT: Assemble the vent

mount as shown. Find a horizontal

air vent that is strong enough to

hold the weight of your AirWare and

its docking station. Clip the vent

mount into the vent.

SWIVEL MOUNT: Find a suitable

location; the mount uses a strong

adhesive and you’ll have difficulty

repositioning it after installation.

Do not install this mount on a

leather surface. Doing so could

permanently damage the surface.

Make sure the air temperature is at

least 60°F.

1. Clean the mounting surface with the enclosed surface

preparation kit. Allow to air-dry.

2. Clean the same surface with the alcohol prep pad.

Allow to air-dry.

3. You may warm the adhesive pad using a hair dryer

or the vehicle’s defroster. Place the swivel mount

accurately since it will bond on the first try.

4. For best results, do not touch or apply any pressure

to the vehicle mount for 72 hours.

To remove the swivel mount, first try lifting the adhesive

pad with your fingers or a spoon. You may warm it with

a hair dryer for 2-3 minutes to help soften the adhesive.

Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by

rubbing with your finger, or you can use a mild cleaner

as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Warning

: AirWare should be placed in your vehicle

where it will not interfere with the function of safety

features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly

place AirWare may result in injury to you or others if the

unit becomes detached during an accident and/or

obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

Using AirWare On The Go

Your AirWare contains a built-in antenna that works best

when your AirWare receiver is upright. Use the belt clip to

hold your AirWare in the proper position; laying your

AirWare down flat may weaken reception.

TIP

: If you carry your AirWare in a bag or use it while

exercising, you can lock the buttons and dial and

prevent something from accidentally pressing the

buttons. Press and hold the “

mute/pause/lock

” button

until you see the lock indicator in the display. To unlock

the controls, press and hold the “

mute/pause/lock

button until the lock indicator disappears.

TIP

: The belt clip doubles as a table stand; just pull out

the back leg.

TIP

: You can plug the AC or cigarette lighter adaptor

directly into the bottom of your AirWare.
