MT43XX RAM Mount
IMPORTANT: To avoid injury, this device must be properly secured when in a moving vehicle.
Keep this device away from magnetic fields.
Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.
Do not disassemble the VC8300 computer as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
IMPORTANT: The operator can easily adjust the tilt and rotation of the VC8300. Use care to avoid operator injury or
equipment damage if the computer slips due to a loosened hand screw.
The VC8300 may be installed using an articulating RAM Mount (Model MT43XX – 4 in. or 12 in. arm) secured
to either a VESA or circular base.
The RAM articulating mount can be installed in a variety of orientations (see Figure 91 on page 125). Select
the best orientation for the specific application. Preferred orientations maintain the center of mass of the
computer assembly, directly over the center of the base.
For detailed mount installation information, refer to the instructions included with the mount kit.
