Insert the mounting bracket between the helmet shell and the interior padding on the left side, then secure the bracket base to the mounting bracket with screws.

3M Double-Sided Tape Bracket Mount:

1. If you prefer not to use the screw-mounted bracket, use the 3M double-sided tape bracket.
2. Before applying the tape, thoroughly clean the helmet surface to remove any oil and press firmly.
3. Wait at least 24 hours before using the device after mounting.

Note: We recommend using the screw-mounted bracket. LEXIN is not responsible for any damage caused by using the double-sided tape mount.
