Using the anti-theft solution 
If your box includes an anti-theft solution, it is supplied in two parts:

 A RAM lock for the mount.  
This lock prevents the unscrewing of the RAM arm from the motorcycle.  
 A lock for the TomTom Rider itself.  
This lock prevents the disconnection of the TomTom Rider from the dock.  
Important: Both locks have keys so you need to make sure that you keep these two extra keys with 
you at all times!  
To use the anti-theft solution, do the following: 
1. Lock the RAM mount to your motorcycle as shown below. 
Note: Make sure you use the longer screws provided with your Rider lock.

RAM arm and attach the RAM lock.
