CP180i and CP300i are is supplied with the hardware for bracket mounting due to the
internal design of the GPS antenna. Below are pictures showing actual examples of the two
types of installation.

The CP180/CP180i and CP300/CP300i can be mounted using the supplied swivel mounting
bracket. Before installing ensure the area the bracket is mounted to is strong enough to
