II. Installation Windshield Pedestal
(5V, 0.6A)
1. Connect the windshield pedestal to the PDA Cradle by sliding the mounting plate (A) into the mounting grooves (B) on the back of the
cradle. Slide the mounting plate all the way up to secure a proper fit.
2. Take care in selecting a suitable location in your vehicle to install the windshield suction pedestal. Warning: Do not mount this product
where it will obstruct the driver‚s view or interfere with operation of the vehicle or the vehicle‚s safety devices, including air bags. You
assume the risk associated with damage to your vehicle or occupants as the result of your choices in mounting this product.
3. Firmly press the windshield suction cup against the windshield and then push down the locking lever to secure a tight fit.
4. Bend the pedestal to adjust the viewing angle by grasping the shaft with both hands. Do not attempt to bend the pedestal by grasping
the PDA cradle.
The Arkon Swivel Windshield Suction Pedestal allows you to easily mount
your Powered PDA cradle directly to the interior of your vehicle‚s wind-
shield. In this position, it can best interface with the global positioning
satellites required for vehicle navigation.
