Mounting and Powering the RD950
Mounting Instructions
To help ensure that your RD950 functions properly and
offers maximum protection, please follow these mounting
instructions:
1. Clean the area of the windshield where the RD950 will
be mounted.*
2. Attach the supplied Windshield Mounting Bracket to
your vehicle’s windshield by firmly pressing the suction
cups and the bracket to the windshield.
a. Mount the bracket as low as possible near
the center of the windshield.
b. Do not mount the RD950 behind wipers or any
metal obstructions.
c. Slide the RD950 unit onto the bracket until it clicks
to complete the mounting.
d. The bracket may need to be leveled by carefully
bending it once the RD950 is mounted.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: Some windshields include a metallic coating that can
significantly affect reception of radar signals. Consult with your dealer or
check your vehicle’s owner‘s manual to determine if your windshield has
such a coating.
Power Connection

Power Input Jack on the left side of the RD950.
2. Plug the large end of the Power Cord into your vehicle’s
12V outlet.
