Installation Steps
1. Tablet Mount Installation.
Locate the Tablet Mount, backing plate kit with screws, 5/8 in. (16 mm) and 3/16 in. (5 mm) drill bit, cordless drill, and fine tip marker.
When determining the mounting location, keep in mind the size of the Kiron Pro (tablet) 7” screen and power source (12v accessory socket) location in vehicle. The location of the Kiron Pro must be within reaching distance of the driver while seated and NO part of the tablet should be above the top of the dashboard or obstruct usage of any gauges or switches.
Separate the mount base by loosening the tightening screw in the middle of the arm.
Using the mount base and backing plate, identify the holes by lining up the two before marking the holes needed to secure the mount to the dashboard.
Note: Before you continue, verify there are no wires, air lines, or anything else behind the mounting location that might be damaged by the drill bit.
Drill out the four holes marked in the previous step with the 3/16-in. (5 mm.) drill bit and then line up the base of the Dock Mount with the backing plate and secure it to the dashboard using the four nuts and bolts included in your kit. (items may be slightly different then ones pictured below).
Note: The backing plate is required for every install. If you are unable to use the backing plate without significant modifications, consult with your project coordinator. Do not secure the mount to the dashboard with self-tapping screws.
Locate the mount arm and loosen the knob to partially release the spring. Place one ball joint in one of the arm’s sockets, and the other ball joint in the other arm socket. Adjust the positioning of the MDT dock to the desired position as you tighten the mount arm.
2. Assembling Mount.
Clip mount (#2) onto tablet (#1).
Remove ball end from one arm mount (#3) and screw onto mount (#2) with provided screws.
Connect one arm mout (#3) to metal backing plate (#4) on back side of dash with provided screws.
Attach ball end back into one arm mount (#3) and use the turn handle to adjust the position of the tablet (#1).
The assembled mount should look like the image below.
