Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your AUTO-VOX X8 Monitor Bracket:
- Prepare the Surface: Choose a clean, smooth, and flat surface for mounting (e.g., windshield, dashboard, RV wall). Ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, or moisture.
- Apply Electrostatic Film (Optional, for windshield): If mounting on a windshield, apply the electrostatic film piece to the desired location first. This helps protect the windshield and provides a better surface for the suction cup.
- Attach 3M Adhesive Pad (Optional, for dashboard): If mounting on a dashboard or textured surface, peel off the protective film from the 3M adhesive pad and firmly press it onto the chosen spot. Allow it to set for a few minutes before attaching the mount.
- Position the Suction Cup: Remove the protective plastic film from the suction cup. Place the suction cup firmly onto the prepared surface or the 3M pad.
- Secure the Suction Cup: Press down the lever on the suction cup base to create a vacuum seal, ensuring a rock-solid hold.
- Attach the Monitor: Align the back of your compatible AUTO-VOX monitor (Solar 3A Plus/4B/5/WF1) with the mounting bracket on the X8 mount. Slide it into place until it clicks securely.
- Adjust Initial Angle: Loosen the adjustment knob on the mount's arm to set the desired extension and angle. Tighten the knob to lock it in position.

Operation
The AUTO-VOX X8 mount offers flexible adjustments for optimal monitor positioning:
- Adjusting Arm Extension: Loosen the knob on the bendable arm to extend or retract the arm, then tighten to secure.
- Tilting the Monitor: The mount's ball head allows for 360° rotation and tilt. Loosen the corresponding knob, adjust the monitor to your preferred viewing angle, and then tighten the knob firmly.
- Repositioning the Mount: To move the entire mount, simply lift the lever on the suction cup base to release the vacuum seal. Reposition the mount and re-secure the suction cup as described in the installation steps.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your suction cup mount:
- Clean the Suction Cup: If the suction cup loses its adhesion, simply wash it with warm water and let it air dry. This will restore its powerful suction capabilities.
- Clean Mounting Surface: Regularly clean the surface where the mount is attached to prevent dust or debris from compromising the suction.

Troubleshooting
- Mount is not sticking: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, smooth, and dry. Wash the suction cup with water and let it air dry to restore adhesion. For dashboards, use the provided 3M adhesive pad.
- Monitor does not attach securely: Verify that your monitor has the compatible square slot on its back for the mounting bracket. The X8 mount is designed for AUTO-VOX Solar 3A Plus, Solar 4B, Solar 5, and WF1 screens.
- Limited adjustability: Loosen all adjustment knobs before attempting to reposition the arm or tilt the monitor. Ensure they are tightened firmly after adjustment.
