MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when attaching adhesive mounts:
• Attach the adhesive mounts at least 24 hours before use.
• Adhesive mounts must be mounted only on smooth surfaces.
Porous or textured surfaces do not enable a proper bond. When
applying the mount, firmly press it into place and ensure full
contact over the entire surface.
• Apply adhesive mounts to clean surfaces only. Wax, oil, dirt or
other debris reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond
and risk of losing the camera should the connection fail.
• Attach adhesive mounts in room temperature conditions.
Adhesives do not bond properly if applied in cold or damp
environments to cold or damp surfaces.
• Check state and local regulations and laws to ensure that
attaching a camera to equipment (such as hunting equipment) is
permitted. Always comply wtih regulations that restrict the use of
consumer electronics or cameras.
WARNING: To avoid injury, do not use a tether when mounting
the camera on a helmet.
