How Do I Put It in My Car? Mounting on a flat surface If you want to put the device somewhere other than your windshield (or anywhere the suction cup won't stick), you can use the anchor disk. Once you glue the anchor disk down, the windshield mount installs inside the disk just like it does on glass. When you're deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are some things to keep in mind: ►► The surface should be as flat as possible. If the disk is upside down or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the device's weight. ►► The surface should be as smooth as possible. If the surface texture is too rough, the glue may not stick as well. ►► The anchor disk will stick permanently on most surfaces. If you try to remove the disk, you might damage the surface. ►► Don't peel off the protective sheet until you're ready to install the disk. Once you expose the glue, you can't stop easily. 1) When you decide where you want to mount the disk, hold the suction cup in that spot and set the angle and position of the bracket (just like you would for mounting on your windshield). 2) Clean the spot to remove any wax, grease, protecterants, etc. 3) Carefully peel the protective sheet from the bottom of the anchor disk to expose the glue.

How Do I Put It in My Car?
Mounting on a flat surface
If you want to put the device somewhere other than your windshield (or
anywhere the suction cup won’t stick), you can use the anchor disk. Once
you glue the anchor disk down, the windshield mount installs inside the
disk just like it does on glass.
When you’re deciding where to put the anchor disk, here are some things
to keep in mind:
The surface should be
as flat as possible
. If the disk is upside down
or at a sharp angle, it might not hold the device’s weight.
The surface should be
as smooth as possible
. If the surface texture
is too rough, the glue may not stick as well.
The anchor disk will stick permanently
on most surfaces
. If you
try to remove the disk, you might damage the surface.
Don’t peel off the protective sheet until you’re ready to install the disk.
Once you expose the glue, you can’t stop easily.
When you decide where you want to mount the disk, hold the suction
1)
cup in that spot and set the angle and position of the bracket (just like
you would for mounting on your windshield).
Clean the spot to remove any wax, grease, protecterants, etc.
2)
3)
Carefully peel the protective sheet
from the bottom of the anchor disk to
expose the glue.
