3 Device Mounting Options 3.1 Screw Mounting The XT4970D has two flanges (two holes per) at each end of the housing for screw mounting the device to the mounting surface. 3.
3.3 Trailer Cradle Mounting An optional trailer mounting cradle can be purchased for easy device mounting for the XT4970D. The cradle will need to be screw-mounted or VHB Tape mounted to the position desired. The XT4970D can be easily fastened into the cradle via a Phillips head screw. The angled edged of the cradle is designed to withstand the impact of snow scrapers that may come in contact to the cradle if mounted on the top of a typical trailer. 3.
3.5 Device Mounting Guidelines The XT4970D Series devices leverage solar energy to replenish the charge of its battery. Please consider the device mounting guidelines to maximize device solar charging. Also, the XT4970D series uses cellular and GPS technologies whose signal reception quality is depending on mounting location and style. Adhering to these guidelines will optimize the field performance of the XT4970D: If possible, have the solar panel facing directly towards the noon sun.
4 Quick Start Guide 4.1 Device Wakeup To start up the device, simply hold the black button located near the circular connector on the side panel of the device for 3 seconds.
