10 Mounting on a motorcycle 1. Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle. 2. Fix the holder to the mount and connect the wires to your motorcycles wiring system. Important: The red POS (+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycles wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the +12V battery supply. The black NEG (-) wire needs to be connected to the motorcycles wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the -(GND) battery supply. Attach to a 12V point that can be switched off by the ignition such as the light circuit. When you are attaching the mount kit to your motorcycle, follow these guidelines: If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional to fit it for you. If you choose to attach the mount kit yourself, note that the Active Dock has a built-in fuse. This means that you don’t need to add a fuse between the device and the motorcycle bat- tery. Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on the motorcycle. Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage or break the mount kit.
