2.2 Using the mounting bracket.

The RN2 comes with a car mount kit and a car charger to help install your device in your vehicle. The car mount kit uses a suction cup on the windshield to offer flexible mounting options for the RN2.

Warning: Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device on the vehicle dashboard.

Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket.

This section shows how to install the car mount kit in your vehicle’s windshield using the suction cup. The RN2 uses a snap on mounting cradle to use when the device attaches to the car mount. Below is the backside view of the RN2 in the cradle.

Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth.

2. If the ambient temperature is below +15°C (60°F), you can warm the mounting area and the suction cup (e.g. with a hair dryer) to ensure a strong suction bond.

3. Install the car mount on the selected area. a. Press the suction cup of the car mount firmly against to the windshield. (See Figure 2-3-1) b. Press down the lever to fix the suction cup in place. c. Adjust the angles of the arm to your proper viewing position.

Figure 2-3-1

4. Mounting the device holder with your RN2. a. Fit RN2 down in the device holder first, and then lock it using the plugs on the bottom of the

device holder. (See Figure2-3-2)

b. Firmly dock the RN2 with device holder on the car mount which has been mounted to your

windscreen.(See Figure2-3-3)

Figure 2-3-2

5. Charging your RN2 device. a. Plug the car charger to the 12 V outlet of your car and then connect the charger cable to the Mini
