Abstract: Disclosed is a mounting base 300 for attaching a portable electronic device 402 to a collar apparatus 400. Mounting base 300 includes a frame 102 and a latch 200. Latch 200 is moveable between a latched position and an unlatched position. Latch 200includes an actuator 206 with a button 208 that may be depressed by a user to manually move latch 200 between the latched and unlatched positions. A portable electronic device 402 includes an insertion portion 410 that is received in a receiving aperture 108 in the frame 102. Once the insertion portion 410 is inserted, the device 402 may be rotated manually to engage latch 200. During rotation, a lock stub 216 on latch 200engages a corresponding feature on insertion portion 410, thereby preventing counter-rotation of device 402. Additionally, one or more tabs 120 on frame 102 interfere with corresponding structure on insertion portion 410 to secure device 402 onto mounting base 300.
