1.6 Using Your A701 in a Vehicle
Using the Car Holder
Your car holder consists of a bracket and an arm stand. Follow this procedure to
mount your A701 in a car:
1. Assemble the bracket and the arm
stand.
2. Clean the windshield where you will
apply the suction cup.
3. Attach the suction cup to the
windshield and push in the locking tab
to secure the suction cup.
4. Carefully fit your A701 into the
bracket.
5. Turn the rotate wheel at the top of the
arm stand clockwise to loosen it.
Adjust A701 to the best viewing
angle, and then turn the rotate wheel
counterclockwise to fasten it.
CAUTION:
When placing the car holder, make sure that the device does not obstruct the driver’s
view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.
After the suction cup is secured to the windshield, never try to pull or wriggle the arm.
Always adjust A701 and the arm of the car holder for the best viewing angle BEFORE
driving. Avoid adjusting A701 with one hand while driving.
When using the car holder, keep the car temperature in a normal range. If the
temperature gets too low, the car holder’s suction cup can harden and affect its suction.
Loosen the locking tab first before removing the car holder.
To retain adhesion of the suction cup, detach and then re-attach the suction cup at least
once a month.
NOTE: If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna
(optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window.
