Frequently Asked Questions - C-HDM-406 Havis

What tools are required for installation of the Havis C-HDM-406?

You will need a large metric socket set (1/2" drive), a small metric and US standard socket set (1/4" drive), a 7/8" wrench, a 1/2" wrench, a 7/16" wrench, a US standard Allen wrench set, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Which vehicles are compatible with the C-HDM-406?

The C-HDM-406 is designed for passenger side mounting in vehicles with a seat bracket configuration similar to the 2010 Ford Focus. It may fit many other vehicles; always check for obstructions before installation.

Can I adjust the height of the mount?

Yes, the height is adjustable using the shaft collar that can be placed anywhere on the inner pole. Tighten the collar once the desired height is achieved.

How do I attach the docking station to the mount?

First, remove the mounting bracket from the bottom of the docking station and attach it to the Motion Device using the supplied hardware. Then seat the docking station onto the bracket and secure it.

What optional accessories are available?

Optional accessories include the C-HMD-409 Offset Plate to move the mount closer to center, a two-piece support collar with side support arm for extra stability, and the ChargeGuard Power Management System for safe power management.

Is the mount secure against theft?

Yes, the docking station features a barrel lock with a key. Turn the docking latch to the DOCK position and lock the barrel lock to secure your device.

Do I need to remove the vehicle seat for installation?

You do not need to fully remove the seat, but you must lift it to place the HDM Base between the seat brackets and the floor. Loosening rear seat bolts may help.

How do I route power cables for the docking station?

Attach the Power Supply to the designated location on the Docking Station. If using the optional ChargeGuard, run power wires from the battery (fused 12V) to the ChargeGuard unit following the separate instructions.

Can I use a universal laptop mount instead of the docking station?

Yes, if you are using a Universal Laptop Mount from Havis (UT-X Series or C-3090 Series), mount it directly to the Motion Device instead of the docking station bracket.

What should I check before starting installation?

Always read all instructions beforehand. Check for any obstructions such as wires, brake lines, or fuel tanks. Use only the hardware provided with the install kit.
