3. Setup

3.1 Assembling the Mount

The GPS unit comes with a three-piece mounting system: the main mount, the clamp, and the suction cup. Follow these steps to assemble:

1. Attach the clamp to the back of the GPS unit.
2. Connect the main mount to the clamp.
3. Attach the suction cup to the main mount. Ensure all connections are secure.

3.2 Mounting the GPS in Your Car

To securely mount your GPS Navigator to the windshield:

1. Ensure the handle on the suction cup is in its released position (perpendicular to the pad). This is crucial before attempting to mount.
2. Press the suction cup firmly against a clean, smooth area of your car's windshield. You do not need to push excessively hard.
3. Flip the handle to the locked position (parallel to the pad) to create a strong vacuum seal.
4. Adjust the angle of the GPS unit using the screw on the mount for optimal viewing. Once the desired angle is set, tighten the screw to secure it.

To remove the GPS from the windshield, push the handle back to the released position. If it's still sticking, use the small extension piece on the pad to gently peel it off.

4.6 Sunshade Functionality

The uniquely designed sunshade helps to effectively block sunlight during the day, reducing glare and improving screen visibility. It also helps avoid reflection at night, ensuring clear viewing in various lighting conditions.

• Ensure the suction cup and mount are clean before each use to maintain a strong grip.
