Mounting Guidelines
INSTALLATION
• Mount the unit as low as possible near the
center of the windshield.
• Do not mount the unit behind wipers,
ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These
obstructions have metal surfaces which can
affect radar and laser signals and reduce
critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass
does not affect reception).
• Some windshields have an Instaclear™or
Electriclear™type coating, which affect radar
signals. Consult your dealer or the owner’s
manual supplied with your vehicle to determine
if your windshield has this coating.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with the
windshield.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your
unit when not in use.

Windshield Mounting
INSTALLATION
• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper
onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes.
• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the
location you have chosen.
Important: Some newer cars have a plastic safety
coating on the inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may leave permanent marks on this
type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this
type of windshield, check the owner’s manual or ask
your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave
the suction cup bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause
blistering of the dash in some vehicles.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into
place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button
and remove the detector before bending.
Power Cord Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the
unit’s power jack.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
