There are three ways you can mount the monitor, either suction, vent or the adhesive mount.
With the suction mount the monitor can be mounted to the windscreen or dash and be easily removed. Attach the suction mount to the back of the monitor using the supplied screwdriver and threaded screw. Pay attention to orientation see pictures below

With the suction lever in the released position, press the suction cup against the windshield. Press the suction lever toward the suction cup to lock the mount. To adjust theangle of monitor, loosen the collar on the ball joint, re- tighten in the desired position.
