Before selecting a mounting position, check state and local laws and ordinances to determine permissible mounting
locations. Generally the preferred and optimal location is the left lower corner of the windshield, as this location is the least
obstructive, generally closest to the OBD-II connector of the vehicle, semi-shaded, and is least visible from outside the
vehicle. This location also will not block the use of a windshield sun-shade.
WARNING:
Do not leave UltraGauge unattended and exposed to extreme dash temperatures on hot days. Damage to the
LCD can occur. Remove UltraGauge from the dash when leaving the vehicle or use a sunshade protector.
Locking Ring
:
The locking ring should be adjusted so that the ball moves with minimal resistance. Over tightening the
ring will lock the ball and attempted adjustments to the position of UltraGauge can result in damage.
1.
Before attaching the mount to the windshield, mold the neck of the windshield mount as necessary to the slope of your
windshield and for the desired position of UltraGauge.
WARNING
!
!
!
!
Never attempt to mold the neck of the windshield mount by grasping the mounting bracket or UltraGauge.
Damage to UltraGauge and/or the mounting bracket may occur, as the neck while flexible is relatively rigid.
Clean the windshield mounting area. This is crucial as any grease, dust, dirt or moisture will ultimately cause the
attachment to fail. Make sure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
Make sure the Windshield Mount locking arm is fully released. Do not
force the arm. There are two release tabs as shown. Grip the release tabs
with your thumb and index finger, and pull the release tabs in the direction
of the arrows imprinted on the release arm. This will release the locking
arm.
Once released, move the locking arm towards the Windshield Mount’s
neck, as shown, to release the suction cup.
With the Windshield Mount’s release arm fully released, press the silicon
base firmly against the windshield, and press the Windshield mount’s
locking arm. It will “click” as it is pressed.
When it has reached the end of its travel it will become resistant to further
movement. Do not attempt to force the locking arm as only a few “clicks”
are necessary and excess force may damage the mount. The windshield
mount should now be firmly attached to the windshield. If not, it is likely
caused by the silicon base not being placed fully flat against the windshield.
Release the locking arm as described above and repeat.
