Raven Cruizer II, Operation Manual

Care and Maintenance

• Harsh chemicals may damage the touch screen. Clean the touch screen 

and console exterior as needed with a soft cloth dampened with glass 
cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the cloth and then wipe the screen gently.

• To avoid scratching the touch screen, do not use any type of sharp 

instrument. Only a fingertip or an approved stylus should be used.

• Do not expose the Cruizer II console to precipitation, condensation, or other 

liquids. Store the console in a dry environment when not in use.

• The suction cup is not meant as a permanent mounting solution. It is 

recommended that the suction mount only be used when the console is in 
operation. Clean the mounting surface with alcohol or a similar cleaner prior 
to attaching the suction mount. Clean the mounting surface and suction cup 
periodically.

• Route cables to prevent tripping hazards and to keep wires from pinching or 

breaking.

• When temperatures are expected to be 10° F (-12° C) or lower, remove the 

console from the vehicle and store it in a climate controlled environment.

• Even when powered down, the Cruizer II console will draw a small amount 

of power from the vehicle battery. If the machine will not be in operation for 
an extended period of time (e.g. more than a couple weeks), disconnect the 
power cable from the back of the console.

Installation

1. Mount the antenna on the centerline of the tallest point of the vehicle 

(usually on the top of the cab) using the magnetic mount. Make sure that 
the antenna has a clear, 360° view of the sky. If the mounting location is 
not metallic, use a mounting plate (supplied with helix style antenna) to 
mount the antenna.

2. Route the antenna cable to the back of the Cruizer II console and connect 

it to the antenna port.

3. Connect the power cable to the power port on the Cruizer II and plug the 

adaptor into the vehicle accessory port or cigarette lighter socket.

4. Using the RAM mount arm, mount the Cruizer II inside the cab to a clean 

surface.

Warning:  Raven Industries is not liable for damage to the Cruizer II 

console, or any other in cabin items, due to failure of the 
suction mount.

Warning:  Do not cut off accessory plug or modify the power cable 

in any way. The accessory plug offers fuse protection. 
Modification of any of the supplied parts could result in 
injury or death.
