Mounting Instructions
For Automotive GPS Receivers
This instruction sheet describes how to assemble and use the quick-
release R-A-Msuction cup mount for Lowranceautomotive GPS re-
ceivers. The RAM suction cup mount is useful for mounting on glass or
other smooth surfaces. Your package also includes a motorcycle mount.
If you have the RV package, your box includes a flexible weighted base
mount. (If you have the standard auto version, the weighted mount is
an optional purchase.) It has a moldable base that lets you place the
unit on a variety of flat or uneven surfaces, such as a dash or console.
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 take your GPS with you in a rental vehicle or a friend's car.
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, per-
sonal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-
equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel condi-
tions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information
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 electronic device in any location
on an automobile dash. Be sure to check your local laws
before using 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
heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventu-
ally loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the
unit to fall or come loose during a turn.

The package includes two double-socket arms. The bases and arms are
interchangeable, so use the configuration that best fits your car.

Installing the RAM Suction Mount
The suction cup mount is designed to secure the GPS as it or the socket
arm rests on another surface. It is not designed to hold the unit sus-
pended by the suction cup alone. The photo below shows how a GPS
unit should be supported by the suction mount and another surface,
which in this example is a dashboard.

The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Remove the socket
arm from the base and make sure the base locking lever is in the off
position. Use both hands and press down hard on the mounting surface.
While maintaining pressure, turn the lock lever to "on" (this will re-
quire some force.)

Attach the socket arm and quick release plate to the base. Loosen the
socket arm nut so you can position the arm and plate to accept the GPS
receiver, then tighten the nut to hold the arm steady.

Mount the unit by snapping the quick release bracket onto the plate. It is
easiest if you engage the bottom of the plate first. (See following photo.)
After the GPS is attached, slightly loosen the socket arm nut and posi-
tion the unit for optimum viewing, then tighten it snugly.

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.
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.

struct the view of the road ahead through the windshield.
Hundreds of other RAM mounting systems are available for your unit.
There are permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for virtu-
ally any vehicle.
