Your unit will arrive with the inspection cover open and the unit off. You may switch it on the day before your trip starts and off once home. Pls close the cover for dust etc once switched on. Don’t over-tighten as you will crack the lid and it won’t be waterproof anymore. You need to stick the unit to your windscreen - 3m tape already on the bracket. I suggest above the Licence disk. The Africanstuff logo should be facing the sky.
