GPS/CAMERA INFO INSTALLATION
Important Information
WARNING: It is the user’s responsibility to use
this product prudently and maintain safe
driving practices at all times.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is

States, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. The system is
subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment.
Camera Database
For database updates and registration, visit
www.whistlerupdates.com.
The Veri-Light database was developed to give
you accurate data to approved camera
locations.
You may note from time to time that a camera
may not be present at the location of the alert.
This is normal at the camera installation may
have been postponed, however the location
is approved for use by the local city or town.
The RLC-100 can be updated with the latest
database anytime. In order to update the unit,
you will need to download the Software
program from Whistler’s website first. You must
also register the unit before any updates can
be downloaded.
Free updates will be available for up to 1 year
from the date of registration and software
installation (other models may have a longer
update time). After 1 year, updates can be
purchased.
NOTE: Software program’s instructions will be
included with the download.
Software Information
IMPORTANT: Please read the Software
Agreement notice enclosed with the unit!
Mounting Guidelines
• Unit needs a clear view of the sky above.
• Some windshields have an Instaclear™ or
Electriclear™ type coating, which can
affect GPS signals. Consult your vehicle’s
dealer or the owner’s manual supplied
with your vehicle to determine if your
windshield has this coating.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal
your unit when not in use.
INSTALLATION
Dash Mounting
The unit can be installed one of two ways: 1)
using the Magnetic Puck or 2) non-skid dash
pad.
Magnetic Puck Installation:
• Select a location on the dash or center
console (remember the unit needs to be
able to “see” the sky).
• Clean the selected area with an isopropyl
pad to clean off any wax or polish. This
will prepare the area for the adhesive
to properly stick.
• Locate the bottom of the Magnetic Puck
and peel off the protective backing to
expose the adhesive.
• Carefully place the Magnetic Puck onto the
selected area and press firmly to let the
adhesive set.
• Place the unit onto the Magnetic Puck.
