I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

Installing the system in your car
Use the windshield mount bracket to mount the GPS in your car. 1. Loosen the nuts on the bracket hinges.
2.
Slide the mounting cradle onto the bracket�s rotating head until it�s locked into place.
3.
Clean the bracket�s suction cup using the enclosed alcohol prep pad or a cotton ball moistened with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. A dirty suction cup won�t stick to any surface. To mount the bracket to your windshield or side window, flip the suction cup lever up, press and hold the suction cup against the window, then press the suction cup lever all the way down. To mount the bracket on your dashboard, peel the sticker backing off the dashboard mount disk, then press the disk onto your dashboard. Flip the bracket�s suction cup lever up, press and hold the suction cup against the dashboard disc, then press the suction cup lever all the way down.

Remove the battery from the GPS (if attached), then clip the GPS into the cradle. Caution: Do not mount the GPS unit on your windshield in any way that it obstructs your view of the road or interferes with your driving. California Drivers: California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a) provides that drivers in California should not use suction mounts on their windshield or side or rear windows. Polaroid recommends using the dash mount with included adhesive disk.
