When installing the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock in your vehicle, choose a location where your Satellite Radio, when docked, will not will not block your vision, interfere with the controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it may be in direct sunlight, which will affect the visibility of the display screen.

Step 2: Install the Dash or Vent Mount
Depending on your situation, you can either choose to use the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount.
IMPORTANT! When you install the chosen mount, do not attach the dock to the mount yet. All cables should be attached to the dock prior to connecting the dock to the mount.
Installing the Dash Mount:
CAUTION! The used on the Dash Mount may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces (contact your automobile dealership if you are unsure about your dash surface), and make sure the air temperature is at least 60ûF (15ûC) during installation. If it’s not at least 60ûF, turn on the heater in your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60ûF.
1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is ample room
for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock when installed.
2 Set the orientation of the Dash Mount before adhering it. Loosen the
knob and adjust the adhesive foot for the location you selected in “Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio” on page 14.
16
DASH MOUNT - Option 1 and DASH MOUNT - Option 2 should be oriented like the image above.
DASH MOUNT - Option 3 should be oriented like the image above.
3 The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions.

Adjust as necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.
4 Clean the surface with the
Alcohol Preparation Pad and let it dry thoroughly.
5 Peel off the adhesive liner.
Position, press, and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Allow the Dash Mount adhesive to cure (dry) for at least 24 hours before using the mount.
TIP! To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive. Be careful not to overheat the surface with the hair dryer or you may damage the surface or Dash Mount.

louvers sturdy enough to hold your PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Radio.
2 If the vent louvers in your vehicle
are recessed, you may need to use the longer vent clamps with the Vent Mount. If so, remove the shorter vent clamps and install the longer ones into the Vent Mount. Be sure to observe the orientation of the vent clamps as shown.
