Step 1b – Mount Vehicle RAM Clamp Mount
Note: If you are using the RAM ball base, complete Step 1a and skip Step 1b.
1. Determine the position for mounting the RAM clamp mount. The clamp mount can be used on
a beam (such as on a fork lift truck) up to 2.5” (63.5 mm) wide and approximately 2” (50.8
mm) thick. The clamp may be attached to a thicker beam by substituting longer bolts (not
included). Be sure to position the RAM clamp mount to allow access to the switches and ports
on the bottom of the VX5.
2. Position the upper clamp piece with ball (A) on the beam. Place the bolts (B) through the
holes in the upper clamp piece.
3. Position the lower clamp piece (C) below the beam. Align the bolts with the holes in the lower
clamp piece.
4. Place the nylon locking nuts (D) on the bolts and tighten the bolts.
Step 2 – Attach RAM Mount Ball to the VX7
1. Turn the VX7 off before attaching the RAM mount ball.
2. Place the VX7 face down on a stable surface.
3. Position the RAM ball bracket on the rear of the VX7, aligning the curved edge on the RAM
mount bracket with the curved edge on the VX7. Attach with four 1/4-20x5/8 bolts, using
one flat washer and one locking washer per bolt. Place the locking washer on the bolt before
the flat washer.
Caution
Failure to use one ¼ flat washer and one ¼ locking washer per bolt can result in damage to
the backplate of the VX7 computer.
