Part 1 of 2: Blinder™ M25 (Dual) & M45 (Quad) Laser Jammer Installation Instructions

We recommend the customer hire a qualified technician to install the Blinder M25 and M45 Laser Jammer.

INSTALLATION: The Blinder™ M25 should be mounted on the front of the vehicle, centered between the license plate and center of

each headlight The M45 adds two additional modules,permitting3 laser modules in front and1rear,or2infrontand 2 rear on either side of the rear license plate. Do not look directly/indirectly into the lens of the Blinder™ at close range, as it emits a bright beam of light invisible to the human eye and will cause eye damage with prolonged exposure. Install the Blinders level and horizontal with the level device provided in the kit. A block diagram for the M25 and M45 installation areshown below.

MOUNTING:

1) Locate the ideal horizontal location for the Blinder Module (see drawing below for 2/3/4 install in front). Locate the modules

behind the grille for best, hidden view, but do not allow any physical object in front of the lens.

2) Make sure the vehicleisparkedonalevel surface. Install the laser modulesleveland pointing straight out fromthevehicle.If the

grille is rounded, ensure the laser modules are pointing straight out and level. See Diagram left.

3) Use provided hardware to fix the Blinder into position. Recheck the level of each laser module before and after tightening to

position, using the yellow LEVEL device provided. Remove level device after correct install, snap the inserts provided into the level hole of each laser module to achieve a clean, smooth look on each module.

4) Each of the Blinder Jammermodulesis connected to the single interfaceviatelephoneplug in jacks. The installerwillneedtofind

a suitable thru hole in the firewall to route the M25 (2) cables or M45 (4) cables through the firewall. Each cable has a firewall grommet, permitting you to replace the present firewall grommet with the Blinder Grommet. You may need to drill a 7/16” (11mm) diameter hole in the firewall. Use the grommet provided on each cable to seal the firewall.

5) Ensure cables are routed with existing cable bundles and tie wrap the Blinder cables in position. Ensure no contact across hot

surfaces. Connect red lead, to a spare 12Vdc connection in Ignition fuse box. Connect Fuse and Master Power On/off as shown using hardware provided in box. Connect ground black lead of interface module to vehicle ground inside the cab.

6) The BlueWire is a radio mute wire and should only be installed by a professional installer or you could damage your radio.

7) Plug Buzzer and LED Alert into appropriate Alert phone plug of the interface module and connect the Buzzer/LED at a location

that suits your driving habits (perhaps above the windshield visor, or in the dash, or in the center console).

8) Once proper install & electrical hookup is completed,turnBlinderpoweron. The Blinder™ willgothroughselftest,&beeponce

for 1 second to indicateitisin test mode, and beep a 2ndtimeafterabout60 seconds. Duringthe1stand 2ndbeep, you canuseyour TV Remote to test the laser modules by aimingthe TV Remote at the detector of the module (may be on left or right side of each laser module, depending how installed) and select channel up or down. This can only be done during the 1st15- 60 seconds, at whichtimethe 2ndbeep occurs,the Blinder goes into normal search andjam,activemode. TheLEDwillbe green with poweron, and when jamming, will turn red. Turn Blinder power off, then on again, if more time to self test is required.

CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE: TheBlinder™ M25 & M45 lensshouldbecleanedwith a clean, soft cotton fabric asoftenasrequired to remove dust, mud, etc. Do not scratch the lens in your effort to clean it. Performance is degraded if the lens is muddy or covered by heavy dust. Rock damage, dust and mud can decrease performance.

OPERATION: When the Blinder™ M25 & M45 is turnedon,itwill go throughaselftestcycle(see #8 above) and beep once for about 2 seconds to let the driver know it is fully functional and in active mode of operation. When the Blinder™ detects laser, it immediately analyzesthelasergunsignalandjamsitbefore the laser guncandisplayyour speed. The Blinder provides an audio alert to the buzzer and the LED changes from green to red. When alerted, the driver should safely check their speed over a period of 2-3 seconds, then shut jamming power off after your speed has been safely adjusted. This allows the laser gun to detect your speed after you have adjusted your speed. Afterdrivingthroughthe lasertrap,turnthe Blinder™ back on, continueyourjourneysafely. Drive alert! Drivesmart! Drivesafe!

Part 2 of 2: V1 Install Instructions, V1 & Valentine 1 Programming, November 2007

Call us at 303-678-9101 if you want help in changing your Valentine 1 modes of operation.

1. Use J Hooks hardware to install Remote Kit behind grille of vehicle, on top of Ski Rack, or just under the bumper, or in the bumper (if a fiberglass bumper is available). The higher the better the performance. Drill holes on the outer flanges of the aluminum enclosure, left and right sides, use J Hooks to hold package to desired surface. A bracket is provided.

2. Ifyour vehicle is an SUV or pickup truck or larger, you can install under the bumper. Ifthe install location is good (typicallyjust under the height of the bumper and approximately18” back), the V1 will detect radar to the front with excellent sensitivity and to therear with reasonable sensitivity. Do not install too low due to potential road damage to the V1 Remote, when parking or going over parking lot bumps.

3. The cable protruding from the Remote Kit is the rear of the kit facing the engine compartment.

4. Ifinstalled behind the grille, rear radar detection will be significantly reduced. Ensure no metal is in front of the V1 Remote, and ensure V1 Remote is kept away from radiator to prevent heat damage. If installed inside a front, foam core bumper, ensure no metal is in front of the V1 Remote.

5. Run the 14 foot cable into the cockpit and hook up according to electrical layout highlighted below. If the cabling is ran differently than shown above, there will be no display on the Remote Concealed Display.

6. Call TLP on any questions you have or to order remote electronic display, audio control and cabling. The Valentine One inside is a die-cast Magnesium enclosure, surrounded by a very sturdy Aluminum outer enclosure.

How To Change V1Remote and Valentine One Programming.

Call us at 303-678-9101 if you want help in changing your V1 modes of operation. Change Modes at your own risk!

I. How to enter the Programming Mode.

 Starting with the Control Knob in the "off" position, Press and hold-in Knob and at the same time turn the Knob “on;”

continue holding in the Knob until all front-panel lights are on (takes about 5 seconds).

 Release the Control Knob.

II. How to determine your software version.

 Press and immediately release the Control Knob (shown at right) to display software version. The

software-version number is four digits that display one digit at a time in the Bogey Counter-example:

2.869.

 Note your software number, then see the tables on the following pages on features programmable in your unit.  Press and immediately release the Control Knob to exit software-version display and go to Step 1 programming.

III. How to program your desired features.

 The feature character is indicated in the "Bogey Counter" (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, A, b, C, d, E, F, G, H, J, or u).  To select the next Feature Character in the sequence, press and immediately release the Control Knob.  The Feature State is indicated by direction arrows on the Radar Locator. The Feature State is changed by pressing and

holding the Control Knob until the arrow switches to the opposite direction (takes about 3 seconds). NOTE: If you need to return to an earlier Character in the sequence above, we recommend you switch off the power momentarily, then restart at step I above.The numerical program modes of interest are as follows:

 US/Canadian/HK Frequency: #1 (X band ON = OFF = ) Don’t change any other mode on US/Canada!

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #1 (X band OFF = )

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #2 (K = 24.125GHz : ON = )

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #3 (Ka band ON = )

 EUROPE / AU Band #4 (Laser ON = )

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #4 #H (Ku ON )

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #J (POP3 ON = )

 EUROPE / AU Frequency #U (Euro Ka = 34.2GHz, Narrowband Ka ON = )

Do not change any other mode!

(after the lamps-on test, but before the Mode indicator appears.)

 On V1s with serial numbers ending in 0600 or higher, a flashing red LED just to the right of the Bogey

Counter during the sequence above indicates that Ku coverage has been activated.
