Important
Leave 12.5 cm (4.9 in) to the right of the dashcam to allow room to insert it into the mounting bracket.
-
When choosing a dashcam location, make sure you can easily reach and operate all nearby vehicle controls and equipment.
-
Power on the dashcam and confirm you can access live views.
-
Position the dashcam and then inspect the view for any obstructions. Make sure you can take it off the mount.
-
Mark the windshield for mount placement.
-
Wipe the area of the windshield where you plan to place the Surfsight® dashcam with an alcohol wipe and allow it to air dry.
-
Remove the adhesive cover from the mount
Caution
The adhesive is very sticky, creating a strong initial bond that makes removal difficult.
-
Hold the mount by its edges in the exact position and orientation you want it to stick to the windshield.
-
Apply even pressure as you roll the mount onto the windshield, starting from the top edge and moving downwards.
-
Visually inspect the adhesive area from the outside for any trapped air bubbles. If large air bubbles remain, carefully apply additional pressure to the bracket to remove them. If they persist, gently use a small pin to create a tiny escape path for the air.
-
Secure the mount to the windshield and adhere to the designated curing time of ten (10) minutes.
-
Power off the dashcam.
-
After safely disconnecting the power cable, carefully route the dashcam's power cable towards its connection point with the vehicle's power system.
-
Connect the dashcam's Molex connector to the power cable's Molex connector and confirm that they are securely linked.
-
Attach the dashcam to the bracket. Allow 10 minutes before applying any weight or sliding the AI-14 onto the mounted bracket.
-
Detach the dashcam from the mounting bracket. Recheck the live view, and then tighten all the required screws.
-
Make sure the dashcam is securely positioned on the windshield mount.
