Mounting to a surface
Caution: This equipment is heavy. Use proper lifting techniques. Do not attempt to lift or assemble the mount with compatible devices inserted.

- Ensure the mount is securely fixed to the vehicle or surface to avoid motion.
- Use at least four M6-0.1 x L20 hex socket cap screws.
- Insert screws into the M6 tap holes on the bottom of the mount (two at the front, two at the back).
Clearance: Ensure a recommended clearance zone of 970 mm by 240 mm for the Lyve Mobile Array and Mount.
Connecting multiple mounts
Vertically: Stack two mounts and align the six attachment holes on the top and bottom. Secure using four M3-0.5 x L16 screws.

Horizontally: Place two mounts side-by-side and align the eight attachment holes on the sides. Secure using eight M3-0.5 x L7 screws.
Installing the device
- Release handle: Grasp the lock catch on the front of the mount and pull it forward to release the front lock bezel. Lower the bezel.
- Insert device: Slide the Lyve Mobile Array into the mount with the ports facing the back.
- Lock device: Raise the front lock bezel until it snaps into place.
Cable management
You can route cables through the front of the mount using the internal channel. Use the provided plastic cable holder covers to secure cables. Insert the rounded tab into the notch on the right side of the channel and snap the hooked release tab into the slot on the left.
Security
The front lock bezel and lock catch can be secured with a padlock (not included). Insert the padlock shackle through the openings on the right or left of the catch plate.
