Mounting best practices

1. Always mount to a solid, rigid surface when available

2. Whenever possible, it is recommended you mount the ShockLog directly to the product being monitored using all four (4) supplied mounting bolts

3. When mounting inside packaging or crates, make sure the product is secured by foam or mounting screws to ensure the unit records accurate impacts to the shipment
