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 maximum detection.
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.
