Installing the Unit
Mounting guidelines
The STINGER radar/laser detector can be mounted on your windshield or
dashboard using the mounting bracket and hook-and-loop fastener provided.
• Mount on the windshield in a centered location that will not obstruct the
view of the driver and is within reach, so the buttons can be easily accessed.
• Do not mount behind windshield wipers, metal surfaces, ornaments, or
mirrored sunscreen glass, as these affect radar/laser signals. Tinted glass
does not affect radar/laser signal reception.
Conceal the STINGER radar/laser detector when you leave your vehicle to
prevent theft and to minimize the unit's exposure to extreme temperatures,
which can temporarily impair performance.
Windshield mounting
1. Install the suction cups and
bumper onto the windshield
mounting bracket by sliding them
into their holes (if not pre-installed).
2. Press the bracket base firmly
against the windshield until the
suction cups securely take hold.
3. Fasten the bracket at the top sides’ slots of the unit.
