ALGIZ 7 Vehicle Docking Quick Guide
1.1 Introduction
The Algiz 7 must be properly installed, according to the following instructions. You will need the appropriate fasteners, tools, and
mounting kits listed in each section. When screwing, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. We recommended
using the universal RAM-mount kit with the 75mm*75mm VESA holes in general vehicle applications which will provide a clear,
glare-free view of the display and a stable mounting solution that makes operating the control buttons or touch screen easy. The
schematic diagram is shown below. If you experience difficulty installing the 7” Handheld Algiz 7 PC, seek the assistance of a
professional installer or contact Handheld Group directly.
