MOUNTING SOLUTION GUIDE
Did You Know?
PIVOT's unique mounting systems are universal and interchangeable, ensuring your PIVOT case will securely connect to every standard PIVOT mount: past, present, and future.
Universal Mounts
Your PIVOT case is compatible with a variety of patented PIVOT Mounting Systems. Before connecting your PIVOT case to the mount, secure the mount in its desired location and adjust it to the desired orientation and tension. Position the mounting plate to be parallel to the case during installation, then connect the case to the mount following the steps below:
1. Position the PIVOT case above the mounting plate and ensure all corners of the mounting plate are below the widest opening of the mounting channel on the case body. If it is not possible to mount the case from above the mounting plate, rotate the case and install from below or the side. 2. Slide the case mounting channel on to the mounting plate. The mounting plate will be guided into the case mounting channel until the clip engages the mounting plate, completing the connection with an audible "CLICK." 3. Depress the PIVOT Clip and reverse the process above to disconnect the case from the mount.
WARNING! The mounting plate should slide smoothly into the case mounting channel with very little resistance. If you encounter resistance, the mounting plate may be misaligned. Do not force the case on to the mount or damage may occur. Gently remove the case from the mounting plate, confirm correct alignment, and reattempt installation.
13.

Click! Connection
PIVOT's audible "Click!" engagement indicates the case is properly and securely connected to the mount. If there is no "Click!" during installation, the case may be misaligned, and you should reattempt installation.
! Pro Tip!
It is not necessary to depress the clip during install. If the clip is depressed and held in the release position, there will not be an audible "Click!" to confirm proper installation.

Incorrect Mount Alignment
Shown below is an example of an incorrect alignment of the mounting plate and PIVOT case. The clip is not properly engaged with the mounting plate and is not holding the case in the locked position. The mounting plate is not fully inserted into the mounting channel and will not support the weight of the case and device.

! Pro Tip!

If you feel resistance on the

mounting plate as it enters

the mounting channel, you may be engaging the

!

"speed bumps" along the

outer edges. They are

designed to provide tactile

feedback, which indicates

misalignment.
