Screw the tripod mount onto the base of the suction cup mount.

Slide your CDR 900 onto the tripod mount using the channel on the top of the unit.

To adjust the angle to the road, loosen the angle locking ring, turn the camera so that it has a clear view of the road ahead and tighten the knob.

Press the Suction Cup rmly onto the windshield. Push down on the lever to lock the suction cup in place.
