CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO MOUNT YOUR DETECTOR

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 detector’s view of the road either to the front or rear.

Mounting Tips

• Center of windshield between driver and passenger.

• Ensure clear view of road ahead and sky above.

• Avoid windshield wipers and heavily tinted areas.

• Heated and radiation blocking windshields currently available on some vehicles will

obstruct radar and GPS signals. Consult your dealer to see if you have this option.

MOUNTING DETECTOR IN YOUR VEHICLE

1. Remove paper backing from EZ Mag Mount™ StickyCup.

2. Ensure the locking clamp is open.

3. Firmly press EZ Mag Mount™ StickyCup onto windshield and close the locking clamp to
secure.

4. To adjust view, loosen thumb wheel and adjust angle of mounting bracket. Tighten
thumb wheel to secure.

5. Tilt the display end of the detector slightly upward and engage with the flanged edge
of the mounting bracket. The EZ Mag Mount™ magnet holds the detector in place.

6. To remove the detector, simply lift the display end of the detector upward. The detector
will release from the mount.

7. To remove mount from windshield, release the locking clamp and pull tab on top of the
