Installation requirements
Follow these guidelines during installation of the device in the aircraft.
Mount the device on top of the aircraft dashboard, as far forward as possible on the windshield.
The top of the monitor must have direct, upward exposure to the sky.

Mount the device by applying the 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive tape that comes with the device, or screwing the bracket onto a suitable location, or another secure method that prevents the device from moving during flight.
