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.
Windshield Mounting

to the bracket.

(Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer
to see if you have this option.
2. Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean.
3. Push the bracket rmly onto
the windshield.
4. Attach the detector to
the bracket. Check that
the unit is parallel to the
road’s surface.
5. 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.
6. Plug the power cord
into the detector.
