Mobile Operation
By attaching the mounting bracket above the radio,
you can mount the radio underneath your vehicle’s
dashboard, or in any other mounting location where the
radio will be suspended from above. You may also use
the mounting bracket beneath the radio, which makes it
possible to mount the radio on top of any flat surface in
your vehicle.
Select amounting location that does not interfere with
visibility while driving. Use caution to select a location
that will not interfere with the deployment of your

mount this or any other equipment in locations where
deployment of the air bags may cause the equipment
to be propelled towards the vehicle’s passengers. If
necessary, seek advice from your automotive dealer or
service shop.
Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark
the locations for the two mounting screws. At the
marked locations, drill holes that are slightly smaller

components that are located behind the mounting
surface. Using the provided screws and lock washers,
attach the mounting bracket to your vehicle.
Attach the two self-adhesive rubber washers to the
inside of the mounting bracket sides, over the holes
that are used when attaching the bracket to the
scanner’s side holes.
The rubber washers help protect the scanner’s case
