Where to Mount Your Unit

•

You will get optimum performance from your detector if you Mount it at a point approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the front windshield without obstructing the unit’s view of the road either to the front or rear. You can also mount it directly on the dashboard.

The unit’s lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view out the back window to allow 360° detection.

The LaserEye Should Have a Clear View

Radar and laser signals pass through glass but not through other materials and objects. Objects that can block or weaken incoming signals include:

n Windshield wiper blades

n Mirrored sun screens

n Dark tinting at the top of the windshield

n Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles

(Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer to see if you have this option.

Windshield Mounting

Attach the rubber cups

to the bracket.

Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean.

Push the bracket rmly onto

the windshield.

Attach the detector to

the bracket.

To adjust the angle if neces-

sary, gently push or pull on the bracket to bend it. DO NOT use the detector to bend the bracket.

Plug the power cord

into the detector.

Plug the cigarette lighter

adapter on the power cord into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

You can temporarily remove the detector whenever

you wish by depressing the bracket release button and sliding it off the bracket.
