Mounting Instructions

For Automotive GPS Receivers

This instruction sheet describes how to assemble and use the quick-

release flexible suction cup mount for Lowrance®automotive GPS re-

ceivers. The flexible suction cup mount is useful for mounting on glass

or other smooth surfaces.

These mounts allow you to make non-mar installations without drill-

ing, screws or permanent adhesives. And since each mount is portable,

it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle.

WARNING!

When a GPS receiver is used in an automobile the driver

is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe

manner. Drivers must maintain full surveillance of all

pertinent driving conditions at all times.

An accident or collision resulting in damage to property,

personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a

GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel

conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in

motion. Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter in-

formation into your GPS unit while driving.

When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must

avoid any installation that obscures important instru-

ments and controls or restricts the driver's view through

the vehicle's windows.

Avoid placing the GPS where it could be propelled by an

activated airbag. Some states restrict mounting any elec-

tronic device in any location on an automobile dash or

windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before us-

ing these mounts.

Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhe-

sion each time you use the unit and reinstall it if neces-

sary.

This is a portable mounting device and the normal heat-

ing and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventually

loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the unit

to fall or come loose during vehicle operations.

™

The iWAY package includes a flexible arm mount. The base and arm

can be adjusted to a position that best suits your vehicle.

ceiver.

Installing the flexible suction cup mount

The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction

cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure,

push the locking lever down until the arm is secure.

Mounting the unit is easiest if you place the bottom of the unit in the

cradle first (see following image). After the bottom of the GPS unit is in

the cradle, push back on the unit until it snaps into place. You may

need to lift the release tab slightly to engage unit in cradle.

Steps for attaching unit to mount.

Another option is to place the GPS unit in the cradle before attaching

the suction cup and arm to the mounting surface. To dismount the unit

from the cradle, push the release tab up slightly then lift the iWAY

from the cradle. To remove the suction cup base, disengage the locking

lever and pull on the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal.

If the suction cup mount has problems staying on, clean the mounting

surface and the suction cup with alcohol then reinstall. Moistening the

suction cup may help adhesion in some cases.

Adhesive Mounting Plate

In some automobiles a typical windshield mount may be difficult or un-

desirable. The flat self-adhesive mounting plate allows you to mount

the unit somewhere else, such as on the dashboard or center console.

Remember, some states restrict mounting any electronic device to a

dash or windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using any

mounting device.

First, engage

The adhesive plate is important in these cases because the suction cup

base will not hold on the textured materials covering most dashboards

and center consoles.

The plate's smooth, flat surface provides a secure attachment for the

mount's suction cup, while the plate's adhesive pad holds the entire

assembly in place.

WARNING:

If you use the adhesive mounting plate it may be ex-

tremely difficult to remove. If you remove the plate it

could leave remnants of the adhesive pad or you could

damage the surface it was glued on.

Determine Plate Location

Once attached, the plate's adhesive pad is difficult or impossible to re-

move. It's important to select the right location before removing the

adhesive backing.

To select a mounting location, place the GPS in the cradle (as described

earlier) and snap the suction cup to the adhesive plate (see next image).

Hold the entire assembly at the desired location to check how it fits.

Make sure the flex arm can be positioned for easy viewing.

Next, turn the unit on and make sure the unit can "see" through the

windows and lock on to the satellites. If the unit can not lock on and

show your position, you must find another mounting location with a

better view of the sky.

Attach Adhesive Plate

When you have found a suitable place, make sure the mounting surface

is free of dirt and oil. Release the plate from the suction cup by flipping

the locking lever and pulling the vacuum release tab. Peel off the adhe-

sive pad's green paper backing. Position the plate over the spot and

press down firmly, maintaining pressure for 20 seconds to ensure the

adhesive bonds securely. You can now attach the suction cup mount

and GPS to the plate.

Storage Issues

Caution:

Do not leave this unit unattended on an automobile dashboard.

When your car is parked and the GPS is not in use, protect it

from theft and heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location

away from direct sunlight. In warm seasons the temperature on

a car's unventilated or non air-conditioned dash can become hot

enough to prevent the GPS unit from operating.

Long Term Storage

When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recom-

mend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature or in some

location with a temperature range of 60º to 90º F.
