About connecting audio
Standard jacks for microphone (2.5 mm) and audio out (3.5 mm) are located on the left side of
the mount (under a weather cap). When connecting your audio system to the zūmo, be sure to
consider the pathways needed to route the necessary cables. For information about hands-free
audio and phone options, refer to the zūmo 500/550 Quick Reference Guide and the zūmo 500/550
Owner’s Manual on disk.

The zūmo includes parts for two handlebar installation solutions. Custom mounts can require
additional hardware (www.ram-mount.com).

the clutch/brake clamp bracket:

brake clamp bracket.
