place.
The ram ball and suction mount are then connected together using the supplied
“Ram Arm”. This allows for multi-positional flexibility and is simply tightened with
the thumb screw.
Warranty Void if suction mount fails !! - Its is advised that the suction
mount is removed from the windscreen when the unit is not in operation
and reattached on a day to day basis.

Mounting the Receiver
Mount on the cab of vehicle, as close as possible width ways to the centre of the
vehicle with the red arrow pointing towards the direction of travel.
The bottom of the receiver is magnetised ready to attach to a metal surface. Use
the supplied metal plate for vehicle roofs that are not made of metal.
To fit, first clean a small area and ensure it is dry, then remove the plastic covers
from the self adhesive strips on the metal plate and stick to the vehicle roof.
The antenna will now stick to this plate and be held safely on the roof.
N.B. In many cases running the cable in through a window or door is acceptable,
please make sure that there is enough of a gap in the rubber to allow this,
otherwise the cable could be damaged and with no signal from the receiver the
BlackBox will not function correctly.
